Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ pound ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Soak the Breadcrumbs
- Place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Pour milk over them. Let them soak until soft and spongy.
Mix the Meat
- Add ground beef and pork to a large bowl. Mix gently with your hands until combined.
Add Seasonings
- Add soaked breadcrumbs, egg, cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper and seasoning. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape the Meatballs
- Roll mixture into even balls. Each meatball should be about golf ball size.
Arrange on Baking Sheet
- Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each for even cooking.
Drizzle with Oil
- Lightly drizzle olive oil over meatballs. This helps them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake the Meatballs
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Meatballs should be cooked through and lightly browned.
Rest Before Serving
- Remove meatballs from oven. Let them rest for five minutes before serving or saucing.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat.
- Use both beef and pork for juiciness.
- Wet hands before rolling meatballs.
- Bake instead of frying for less mess.
- Rest meatballs before serving.
