Easy and classic Italian meatballs that you can toss with tomato sauce and serve over pasta, in a hoagie roll, or on ciabatta.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 lb ground beef or pork (use all of one or the other or mix them)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Do the prep. Peel and mince the garlic. Grate the Parmesan. Preheat your oven to 350°F or 175°C.
  2. Make the meatballs. Mix all the ingredients in one large bowl with your hands. Scoop out enough to form 1-inch meatballs. You can make them larger, but you may need to adjust their baking time. As you roll them out, place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake. Bake the meatballs for 25 minutes. Verify the internal temperature has reached 165°F or 74°C. Serve with marinara over pasta or in a hoagie roll. Or, if you’re watching carbs, just eat them straight away out of the oven.
