How to Make Bartolino S Meatballs

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 large egg, 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Add 2 pounds ground beef to the bowl.
4. Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Shape the meat mixture into 28 meatballs, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
6. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer in a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink inside.
8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drain off any excess grease.
9. **Alternative Skillet Method:** Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook half the meatballs at a time for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
