Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, all seasonings, and parmesan cheese.

Step 3

In a large bowl, add the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumb mixture, beaten egg, and cream. Use your hands until everything is well combined.

Step 4

Divide and shape into meatballs. I made 16 meatballs that were about 2 tbsp of mixture each. Place the meatballs onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook for about 20 minutes until browned.

Step 5

If you are finishing in red sauce, place the meatballs in the sauce and simmer for another 5-10 minutes. If not, bake for an additional 5 minutes until fully cooked through.
