• aktive zeit: 25 minutes
• gesamtzeit: 45 minutes

Zutaten

½ cup plain breadcrumbs ($0.17*)

½ cup grated Parmesan ($1.92)

½ tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

½ tsp onion powder ($0.05)

½ tsp Italian seasoning ($0.05)

¼ tsp salt ($0.02)

¼ tsp pepper ($0.03)

2 large eggs ($1.58**)

¼ cup whole milk ($0.04)

1 lb. bulk Italian sausage ($3.57***)

1 lb. ground beef ($4.98)

Anweisungen

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the two eggs.

Add the breadcrumb mixture, eggs, milk, Italian sausage, and ground beef to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until evenly combined. Avoid over mixing the meat.

Let the meatball mixture rest for five minutes to allow the breadcrumbs time to soften. Divide and shape the meat into about 32 balls, approximately 2 Tbsp in volume each.

Oven Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet about one inch apart from each other.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Once browned, transfer them to a pot of red sauce and simmer for five more minutes in the sauce. If not using a red sauce, add an additional 3-5 minutes to the bake time, or until they're cooked through.

Stove Top Cooking Instructions

Add a tablespoon of cooking oil to a large skillet and heat over medium. Once hot, swirl the oil to coat the surface of the skillet. Add half of the meatballs to the skillet.

Cook them, turning every couple of minutes, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Repeat with the second batch.

Once cooked, transfer them to a pot of red sauce and simmer for a few minutes more before serving.
