Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and milk.
Add the egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined, but do not overmix.
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat for the remaining mixture, placing the meatballs evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to promote browning and moisture during cooking.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with pasta, in a sub roll, or on their own with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
