Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until just combined. Form into 20-24 meatballs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 6-8 minutes; remove and set aside.
