→ Main Ingredients
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork or pork sausage
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/4 cup grated parmigiano reggiano cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 cloves garlic, minced
24 mozzarella cubes (cut from 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks, 6 pieces each)
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place parchment paper on your baking sheet.
Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to soften breadcrumbs.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl, except mozzarella. Mix together with your hands.
Form 24 equal-sized meatballs.
Add a piece of cheese to each meatball. Using your hands, ensure the meat surrounds the cheese. Roll in your hands to create a round, uniform shape.
Place meatballs on your prepared baking sheet.
Cook for 15-18 minutes. Meatballs will be done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the oven and enjoy.
