Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup A1 Steak Sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Roll the meat mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. This should yield approximately 16-18 meatballs.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Place the meatballs in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. You may need to cook them in batches.

Step 5

While the meatballs are browning, in a small bowl, whisk together A1 Steak Sauce, ketchup, and water to create the sauce.

Step 6

Once all the meatballs are browned, return them to the skillet and pour the A1 sauce mixture over them.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat the meatballs in the sauce. Ensure the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).

Step 8

Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or parsley if desired. They pair well with mashed potatoes, rice, or as sliders on mini buns!
