Delicious Meatballs

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
• 1 onion , minced
• 4 cloves garlic , minced
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 pound medium ground beef
• 1 pound lean ground pork
• 2 eggs , beaten
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drizzle a large baking sheet with about 2 tablespoons olive oil.

2. 2

   Heat remaining olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; continue to saute until garlic is softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle.

3. 3

   Combine beef, pork, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, onion mixture, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together using your hands as quickly as possible as overmixing can produce a tough meatball.

4. 4

   Form 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place on the prepared sheet.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes, turning them over after 15 minutes.
