Calories: 112kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 85/15
- ½ pound ground pork
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ small yellow onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Glaze
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion with a pinch of salt until soft and translucent, about 4–5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more before removing from heat to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
- Add the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, sautéed onion mixture, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Gently mix with your hands just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce for the glaze.
- Brush or spoon the glaze over each meatball.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Be sure to chop the onion and garlic very small to avoid large chunks throughout the meatballs.
- Ensure the ingredients are well distributed throughout the meat mixture so the meatballs bake up properly without falling apart.
- Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
