Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix gently.
Step 2
Add the Italian breadcrumbs, almond milk, and egg to the meat mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. The recipe should make about 16 meatballs.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are covered with white ash.
Step 6
Brush each meatball lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the meatballs on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 10 minutes, turning them occasionally to have each side evenly browned and cooked through.
Step 8
Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C). Adjust cooking time as needed depending on your grill.
Step 9
Remove the meatballs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy the meatballs hot with your choice of sauce or over your favorite pasta.
