For the meat, you can use 100% ground beef (85% lean / 15% fat preferred), or half beef / half pork. I prefer the latter which has a better texture, especially if you plan to freeze and reheat the meatballs.

Ingredients

• Ground beef, or a mix of ground beef/pork — 1 pound
• Eggs — 1
• Italian style breadcrumbs — 1/2 cup
• Grated Parmesan cheese — 1/4 cup
• Yellow onion — finely diced, 1/2 (we like a lot of onion, can use less)
• Garlic — finely diced, 3-4 cloves
• Kosher salt — 1 teaspoon
• Pepper — 1/2 teaspoon
• Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder — to taste

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and shape into 1-1.5” balls.
2. Bake the meatballs:
   • Bake in oven at 375F on lower middle rack
   • Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to brown both sides
   • Cook to 165F internal temperature before serving

Or broil the meatballs:

• Place in lower-middle rack
• Cook until surface is browned, about 10-12 minutes
• Flip the meatballs and cook for another 2-3 minutes to brown the other side

Enjoy!
