Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and 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, grated Parmesan cheese, and milk.

Step 3

Add the egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients together until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.

Step 5

Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a round meatball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and sear them until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. This step locks in the juices and adds flavor.

Step 7

Once seared, transfer the meatballs to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked through (165°F or 74°C internal temperature).

Step 8

While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a large pot over low heat.

Step 9

Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the pot with the marinara sauce and let them simmer for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 10

Serve the meatballs hot over spaghetti, with crusty bread, or as an appetizer with toothpicks. Don't forget a sprinkle of extra Parmesan on top!
