Ingredients
-
1lb REP Primal Beef Blend
-
½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
-
¼ cup Whole Milk
-
1 Whole Egg
-
¼ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
-
¼ cup Finely Chopped Yellow Onion
-
2 Garlic Cloves (finely minced)
-
2 tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley Leaves
-
1 tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Basil Leaves
-
½ tsp Kosher Salt
-
¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Place the breadcrumbs in a large bowl then pour in the milk. Stir to combine, and soak.
Add egg and the remaining ingredients, except beef into the mixture. Whisk to combine.
Add the ground beef and mix with your hands until combined. Do not over mix.
Use a cookie scoop to grab some raw meat then gently roll between your hands to make perfectly-sized uniform meatballs (about 24 balls).
Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheets so that they do not touch each other.
Bake the meatballs for about 10 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
To Cook the Meatballs in an Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
Place half of the meatballs in the basket, cook for 8 minutes.
Shake the basket and continue cooking for 2 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked.
Repeat with remaining meatballs.
Let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
