Simple Pork and Beef Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground pork 
• 1 lb. gourmet ground beef or regular ground beef (swap Ancestral for a nutrient boost!)
• 2 pasture-raised eggs
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (or swap homemade sourdough bread crumbs)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley (or swap dried Italian herb seasoning)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 F. 
2. Whisk the egg in a large bowl. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix together with your hands. Shape into 24-30 meatballs and place on baking sheet. 
3. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and the internal temperature of the meatballs is 165 F. 
4. To make as a meal, pair with spaghetti and marina; with rice and veggies to make bowls; alongside orzo and roasted vegetables or sautéed greens; or with hummus, pita, and chopped vegetables.
