Ingredients
- 1.30 pounds lean ground beef
- 1.30 pounds ground pork
- ½ cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine in a large mixing bowl the lean ground beef, ground pork, Italian bread crumbs, onion flakes, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and beaten egg. Using your hands mix the meat mixture together until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop the meat using a cookie scoop then roll by hand to form mini meatballs. Place rolled meatballs on a parchment lined baking sheet (do not over crowd the baking sheet).
- Bake in batches for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately or cool to room temperature and freeze. Repeat the baking steps until all the meat has been cooked.

Notes
- Serving size calculated based off mini meatballs. I used a small OXO cookie scoop.
- Pre-Make - Scoop these out onto a parchment lined baking sheet, then pop in the freezer. This way they will freeze individually for you to place in a bag. You'll be able to remove exactly the amount you need in the future.
- Freeze - You can freeze raw or cooked. I prefer to cook then freeze in a ziplock baggie.
- Meat - You can use all ground beef or all ground pork if you prefer.
- Large Size Meatballs - If you want larger meatballs use a full size cookie scoop. If using this size scoop this recipe will yield you about 15 meatballs.
- Smaller Meatballs - Use the smallest OXO cookie scoop for small meatballs perfect for Italian wedding soup. This recipe will yield you around 30 mini meatballs.
