Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a large spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.
Step 4
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each meatball.
Step 5
Drizzle the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown while baking.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Step 7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite pasta, marinara sauce, or as a standalone appetizer.
