Notes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Italian herbs
  • 3 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ⅓ cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and combine until evenly blended.
  3. Shape the mixture into meatballs, using about 1 ½ tablespoons per ball. A cookie scoop or spoon works well for consistent sizing. Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake for 16–20 minutes, until the meatballs are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Serve on their own, toss with your favorite sauce, or pair with pasta such as spaghetti.

Notes

  • Using 1 pound of ground beef yields approximately 15 meatballs.
  • The recipe can be doubled easily if you need a larger batch.
