Description
These easy homemade meatballs are a delicious, oven baked recipe that use a traditional mix of ground beef and pork. They're a simple, classic way to make Italian meatballs that can be served on pasta, sandwiches, pizza, and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until well combined.
- Roll the meat mixture into balls. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to create balls that are about 1 ½ tablespoons each. Add the balls to a parchment paper lined or foil lined baking sheet. Place on baking sheet so that they are not touching. Bake in batches if needed.
- Bake the meatballs for 16 - 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the meatballs are cooked through.
- Optionally, add the meatballs to a skillet of marinara sauce and serve over pasta. Other ideas for serving these meatballs: add to soups, wraps, salads, meatball subs, pasta, or sliced on pizza.
Notes
- Forming the meatballs: lightly wet your hands before forming the meatballs to help prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
