Ingredients

1 pound 85/15 ground beef
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup parmesan cheese
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until incorporated.
Using a medium (1.5 tablespoon) cookie scoop, or your hands, form mixture into meatballs and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Recipe makes about 24 meatballs of this size.
Bake for about 15-17 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160℉ in the center (I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to prevent meatballs from drying out due to overcooking).
Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes

Leftovers: Leftover meatballs will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Freezing: Raw or cooked meatballs can be frozen for up to 3 months. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet 1 inch apart. Freeze until solid, about 1 to 2 hours. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and seal tightly. Transfer to the refrigerator to thaw overnight or add 2-3 minutes to your baking time if baking from frozen.
