Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
  4. Shape mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Brown meatballs in batches, about 2 minutes per side.
  7. Transfer meatballs to a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
  8. Serve with marinara sauce and pasta.

Notes

  • For softer meatballs, soak breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes before mixing.
  • Use a mix of beef and pork for the best texture and flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep meatballs tender.
