Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread, torn, crust cut off
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tsp dried basil
- 3 tsp dried oregano
- 3 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp granulated onion powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup! Set aside.
- Place the torn bread and milk into a small bowl. Let the bread soak and absorb the milk while you combine the rest of the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, add the ground beef, eggs, cheese, basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Next, add the soaked bread to the rest of the ingredients. Slightly squeeze the milk out of the bread before adding it to the bowl of ingredients.
- Mix all of the ingredients together until combined well. Hands are best here!
- Turn the oven to broil and allow to heat for a few minutes while you roll the meatballs.
- Divide and roll mixture into 14 meatballs. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Broil meatballs for 12 minutes. You can rotate the meatballs half way through if you prefer.
- Serve with your favorite marinara, or use in recipes like my meatball soup or meatball sub.

Notes
- Seasonings and herbs are used very liberally to help add a lot of flavor. About 2 tablespoons of dried Italian herbs can also be used in place of the dried basil, oregano, and parsley if you prefer.
