Easy Baked Meatballs

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef I use 93/7
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup panko
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. With a paddle attachment, mix on low until thoroughly combined. (Mixture can also be mixed by hand in a large mixing bowl.)
  • Form mixture into 1.5" balls (a miniature ice cream scoop works well for this). Place balls on prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

Notes

Freeze cooled meatballs in zip-lock bags for up to 3 months.
