Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
2. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and let stand 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the egg, onion, parsley and garlic, then add the beef and pork and mix gently until combined without over-squeezing.
4. Divide the mixture into 24 meatballs of about 2 ounces each.
5. Oven method: brush the foil with 2 tablespoons olive oil, space the meatballs 1 inch apart, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and bake 18–20 minutes until a thermometer in each meatball reads 160°F. Then broil 1–3 minutes until browned.
6. Stovetop method: heat all the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, turning about every minute, until all sides are browned.
7. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until a thermometer in the center of each meatball reads 165°F.
8. Optional: simmer the meatballs in marinara in a covered pot with the lid slightly open over low heat for 20–30 minutes.
