Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian pork sausage
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 egg large yolks
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning click link for homemade recipe
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler to high.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat.
- Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg yolks, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked onions and garlic, then use your hands, or a spatula, to combine all of the ingredients.
- Once the ingredients are combined, form the mixture into about 40 golf ball sized meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on a foil lined baking sheet and under the broiler in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake the meatballs at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and immediately toss with your favorite sauce, add to soups or subs, or freeze them for later.
Notes
- This recipe makes 40 small (golf ball sized) meatballs or 8 jumbo (baseball sized) meatballs. If making the jumbo size meatballs, bake them in a 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes.
- These meatballs can be frozen raw or cooked. I recommend only freezing them for up to 6 months. They can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator or in a microwave, using the defrost function.
- To make gluten free meatballs, simply swap out the panko breadcrumbs for gluten-free panko bread crumbs.
- For instructions on how to pan fry or air fry the meatballs, refer to the blog post above.
