Meatballs

1

Prepare the Meatball Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2

Form the Meatballs

Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a plate or a baking sheet.

3

Cook the Meatballs

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
