Ingredients
8 servings
- •3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- •1 onion, minced
- •4 cloves garlic, minced
- •1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- •1 pound medium ground beef
- •1 pound lean ground pork
- •2 eggs, beaten
- •1 cup bread crumbs
- •1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- •1 cup milk
- •1 teaspoon salt
- •1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drizzle a large baking sheet with about 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; continue to saute until garlic is softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle.
- Combine beef, pork, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, onion mixture, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together using your hands as quickly as possible as overmixing can produce a tough meatball.
- Form 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place on the prepared sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes, turning them over after 15 minutes.
