Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
• 1 large Eggs
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 small Onion (grated)
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, grated onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.

Step 4

Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture has been shaped into meatballs (you should get about 16-18 meatballs).

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides (approximately 2-3 minutes per side).

Step 6

Transfer the skillet with the seared meatballs to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite low-carb sauce or side dish, such as zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or a simple salad.
