Easy Baked Meatballs: A No-Fuss Comfort Food

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prepare the Meatball Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Add the egg and milk to the mixture, and use your hands or a spoon to mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 3: Shape the Meatballs

Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Brush or drizzle the meatballs with olive oil for a golden-brown finish.
Step 4: Bake the Meatballs

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For an extra-crispy exterior, broil the meatballs for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
