Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.75 cup frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry)
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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, chopped spinach, ranch seasoning mix, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, and milk.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into uniform meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown and stay moist during baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer with toothpicks and dipping sauce, or over spaghetti, rice, or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
