1⅓ lb ground beef (see Note 1)

breadcrumbs (see Note 2)

milk (or broth)

onion (finely minced or grated)

parmesan cheese (see Note 3)

Italian herbs (chopped; See Note 4)

garlic (finely minced)

sea salt

pepper

red pepper flakes

fennel seeds

paprika

Mix meatball mixture

Preheat oven to 400°F. Add the milk and breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl and stir until the milk is absorbed. Then add the remaining ingredients (including any optional spices) and mix well until combined.

Roll meatballs

Roll the mixture into 2 inch diameter meatballs and lay them on a lined baking tray. Wet your hands with water or oil to prevent sticking. See Note 5 for consistent sizing.

Bake meatballs

Bake in a preheated 400°F oven until fully cooked, about 18 to 20 minutes depending on size. The internal temperature for beef meatballs should be 160°F. If you mixed in ground pork, chicken, or turkey, the internal temperature should be 165°F.

Serve

Serve with your favorite tomato sauce and spaghetti, with gravy, or any other dish. Enjoy!
