Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use clean hands to gently mix everything together.
- Shape the mixture into 1 tablespoon sized meatballs. I find that this is easiest using a spring loaded scoop, and then going back with slightly wet hands to roll each one into a ball.
- Place the meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart. You will need to do this on 2 pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning the meatballs about halfway through the cook time.

Notes
- If you want to cook both trays of meatballs at the same time, I would suggest rotating them halfway through the cook time. You may need to add on a few extra minutes for them to cook through.
- You can serve the meatballs right away, or they can easily be frozen for a later use. To freeze, place the cooked, cooled meatballs on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a freezer safe container or freezer bag to store.
