Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk (preferably whole)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 yellow onion (grated, plus any juices)
  • 1 clove garlic (grated on a microplane zester)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 lbs. ground beef (preferably 80/20)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs (1/2 cup), milk (1/2 cup), eggs (2), grated onion plus the juices, minced garlic (1 clove), dried oregano (2 teaspoons), kosher salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon) until everything is uniformly wet.
  • Add the ground beef (2 lbs) and mix until everything is just combined. Try not to overwork it. Mixing with your hands is best, but you can use a spoon if you don't like handling raw meat.
  • Using a large cookie/ice cream scoop, scoop the meatball mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet (alternatively, you can form the meatballs with your hands).
  • Bake the meatballs in the center of the oven at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until internal temperature is at least 160 degrees.
  • Serve the meatballs with sauce and grated parmesan cheese on top of pasta, in subs, in a salad, or however you like!
