Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp parsley flakes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top if you have one.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, tomato paste, garlic, and parmesan cheese.
  3. Mix everything together until just combined. Try not to overmix.
  4. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 3 tablespoons each. A cookie scoop works well for this.
  5. Place the meatballs on the rack or directly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  7. Use immediately, add to sauce, or let cool for freezing.
