Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef (I used lean)
  • 1 red onion (a small one)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup panko (or breadcrumbs)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup dried parsley
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a sheet pan with foil.
  •  Finely chop red onion, and peel and mince garlic.
  • In a large bowl combine ALL the ingredients and use your hands (wash them well before and after) to combine the mixture. Roll the meatball mixture into small balls (mine were around golf ball size) and line them up on the sheet pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.  You could start checking after 15 minutes - depending on how hot your oven runs they might be done.  I ALWAYS test my meat with a meat thermometer to take the guesswork out of it.*
  • Serve with our Homemade Tzatziki, pita bread and fresh veggies, or with rice, or roasted potatoes.  Enjoy! :)
