Description
These juicy meatballs are packed with Italian seasoning, shallots, and garlic, then baked to golden perfection — a weeknight dinner staple.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup milk
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, gently mix all ingredients by hand until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Shape mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs (about 18–20) and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned.
Serve immediately or use in your favorite dish.
Notes
For extra juicy meatballs, avoid compacting the mixture too tightly.
Add a mozzarella cube to the center of each ball for cheesy meatballs.
Use gloves or damp hands to roll for less sticking.
