Report
These easy baked meatballs are made with all beef, and are perfectly juicy and fluffy every time! Serve with spaghetti, on a sub, and freeze for later.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk preferably whole
- 2 eggs
- 1 yellow onion grated, plus any juices
- 1 clove garlic grated on a microplane zester
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lbs. ground beef preferably 80/20
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs (1/2 cup), milk (1/2 cup), eggs (2), grated onion plus the juices, minced garlic (1 clove), dried oregano (2 teaspoons), kosher salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon) until everything is uniformly wet.
- Add the ground beef (2 lbs) and mix until everything is just combined. Try not to overwork it. Mixing with your hands is best, but you can use a spoon if you don't like handling raw meat.
- Using a large cookie/ice cream scoop, scoop the meatball mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet (alternatively, you can form the meatballs with your hands).
- Bake the meatballs in the center of the oven at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until internal temperature is at least 160 degrees.
- Serve the meatballs with sauce and grated parmesan cheese on top of pasta, in subs, in a salad, or however you like!

Notes
- You can make small meatballs using a smaller scoop or forming them with your hands. If you do this, you may need two rimmed baking sheets and less baking time. I recommend baking for 20-25 minutes, and rotating the baking sheets from the bottom to top rack halfway through baking if both don't fit on the center rack.
- To freeze, arrange cooked meatballs on a baking sheet or plate and place in freezer for about 30 minutes to flash freeze. Remove to a zip-top bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 4 months for best quality.
- To use lean ground beef, I recommend coating the bottom of your baking sheet with a coat of olive oil to avoid sticking.
- For easier clean-up, line your baking sheet with foil.
