Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 0.5 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or Italian seasoned)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Italian sausage, ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, milk, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined, but do not overmix to avoid tough meatballs.
Roll the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch balls using your hands. Aim for uniform sizes for even cooking. You should make around 24 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the meatballs in batches, ensuring you do not overcrowd the pan.
Sear the meatballs on all sides until they are golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Use tongs to turn them gently.
Once browned, transfer the meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
After all the meatballs are seared, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, honey mustard, or spicy aioli.
