Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a large spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.

Step 4

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each meatball.

Step 5

Drizzle the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown while baking.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite pasta, marinara sauce, or as a standalone appetizer.
