Meatball Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the meat mixture. Use your hands to mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, scoop out portions of the meat mixture and roll them into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once preheated, bake the meatballs in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
