Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs.

For extra flavor, use a combination of beef and pork for the meatballs. You can also broil the meatballs with cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.
