Serve these delicious meatballs with your favorite spaghetti sauce and pasta dish or prepare them for a party appetizer with dips or a sweet and sour sauce. These meatballs would also be wonderful with a stroganoff sauce on noodles.

To make a uniform size, weigh each meatball or use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon as you shape the meatballs. Wet your hands to keep the meatball mixture easier to handle.

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 85 percent lean
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or about 2 teaspoons dried
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup milk

Gather the ingredients.

Spray a cooling rack with baking or nonstick cooking spray and place in a foil-lined jelly roll pan or roasting pan. Preheat oven to 350 F.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Shape into 1-inch meatballs using your hands (dipping them in a bit of water will help prevent the ground meat from sticking). Arrange the meatballs on the prepared rack.

The Spruce / Crystal Hughes
Bake for about 35 minutes, or until cooked through. If your meatballs are larger, bake longer, or until thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 160 F.
