Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 lbs Ground pork
• 0.75 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 small Onion, finely chopped
• 2 units Eggs, large
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 24 oz Marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, onion, eggs, milk, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spoon until everything is evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture.

Step 4

Scoop out roughly 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into meatballs (about 18–20 meatballs).

Step 5

Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 6

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

While the meatballs bake, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes.

Step 8

Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the skillet with the marinara sauce. Gently coat the meatballs in the sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the meatballs hot over spaghetti, in a sub sandwich, or as a main dish with a side of garlic bread. Garnish with extra parsley and parmesan cheese, if desired.
