Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Mix with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).

Step 5

Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and spoon marinara sauce over each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the patties simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each patty, replace the lid, and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and serve hot. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve alongside pasta, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables.
