How to Make Best Easy Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 lb ground pork, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the meatballs on all sides in the skillet, about 5-7 minutes. This step adds great flavor!
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
