Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Beef 80/20 Mixture
- ½ cup Italian Breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Add all the ingredients to a large bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until it is just combined. Try not to overmix.
- With an ice cream scoop, take portions of the meat mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs for 25 minutes. If the meatballs are a little larger, they might need 30 minutes. When they are done baking, place them in your favorite sauce and allow them to simmer for 10 minutes. Serve!
Notes
- A leaner ground beef will result in a tougher meatball. 80/20 or 85/15 are the perfect balance of meat and fat.
- To make these 6 ingredient meatballs, mix ground beef with ground pork.
- An ice cream scoop is the best way to ensure that you have meatballs of similar size.
