Meatball

Method

Preparation

1

Make the Meatball

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

2

Shape the Meatball

Form the mixture into one large meatball, about 8-10 inches in diameter. Place the meatball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3

Bake the Meatball

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the meatball for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
