Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, gently mix the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Scoop approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form 16-18 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer and sear for about 2 minutes on each side, or until browned. This helps lock in the flavors.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce over pasta, in a sandwich, or alongside vegetables.
