Meatball Ingredients
Beef: Lean beef is used in this recipe but any type will work. You can even do half pork, half beef if desired.
Breadcrumbs: Seasoned breadcrumbs are the best for this recipe but plain crumbs or even panko can be used instead.
Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated cheese produces the best results but powdered cheese also works just as well.
Seasoning: Garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper are the seasoning staples used. Italian seasoning or steak seasoning are also great alternatives to try.
Perfect Beef Meatball Tips
- Use seasoned breadcrumbs for an extra boost of flavor.
