Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound medium ground beef
  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drizzle a large baking sheet with about 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Step 2
Heat remaining olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; continue to saute until garlic is softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle.

Step 3
Combine beef, pork, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, onion mixture, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together using your hands as quickly as possible as overmixing can produce a tough meatball.

Step 4
Form 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place on the prepared sheet.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes, turning them over after 15 minutes.
