These best homemade Italian Meatballs use a classic blend of beef, pork, and veal with pecorino, Parmesan, and fresh parsley for tender, juicy, flavor-packed meatballs, browned and baked.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, ground veal, eggs, pecorino romano cheese, bread crumbs, onion, parsley, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, pepper, salt, and basil until well combined but do not overmix. It is easiest to use your hands for this step.
Roll the meat mixture into ¼ cup balls and place them on the prepared sheet tray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Once hot, fry the meatballs in batches on both sides until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. I fried it in about 3 batches.
Once browned, place the meatballs back on the prepared sheet tray.
Once all of the meatballs are browned, place the sheet tray into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until an internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use immediately or in your favorite recipes.
