  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

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

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Bake the Meatballs

    Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned.
