INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound 80% lean ground beef
• 8oz ground pork
• 1 large egg , beaten
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, optional

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the meat, egg, breadcrumbs, cheese, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley, if using.
• Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the meat mixture. Form into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on the baking sheet.
• Bake uncovered 17 to 20 minutes, or until no longer pink in the middle. Turn halfway through, so the bottoms don't brown.
