Meatballs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and browned.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the meatballs from the oven and toss them in the garlic Parmesan sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately on skewers or lollipop sticks.
