INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 egg lightly beaten
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic minced
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil then set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, olive oil, and garlic to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula (or even just your hands), mix or knead the meat into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Using a 1 teaspoon cookie scoop (or just pinch off the same amount), scoop out meat mixture and work it with your hands. For best results, gently press the meat as you roll it into a ball. Doing this will help the meatballs keep their shape. If there are any seams in the meatball, pinch them closed, then roll the meatball between your hands until smooth. Take about 10-20 seconds for each meatball to ensure they're rolled correctly. Once finished, place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet; it's okay if the meatballs are placed close together, so long as they're not touching. Repeat this step until all the meat mixture has been used.
Bake meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
