¾ cup

1 lb.
Kowalski's Certified Humane USDA Choice 93% Lean Ground Beef

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning.
- Stir in milk; let stand for 10 min.
- Add beef, pork and egg; using clean hands, thoroughly mix until well blended (do not overmix).
- Using damp hands, shape mixture into 20-22 evenly sized meatballs about 1 ¾-2" in diameter.
- Arrange meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper; bake in preheated oven until done (about 25 min.).
- Serve as an appetizer or use in your favorite pasta dish, such as our recipe for Simple Spaghetti and Meatballs.
Tasty Tip:
- Meatballs can be frozen for up to 3 months. Cool baked meatballs at room temperature for 1 hr. before placing on a baking sheet; freeze meatballs until nearly solid (about 3 hrs.). Transfer balls to a single freezer bag or multiple freezer-safe containers. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using in pasta dishes or soups.
