Meatballs
Serving Size:7|Prep Time:45minutes|Cook Time:20minutes

Directions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 375F degrees.
  2. Lightly oil or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the onions and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Stir in crushed red pepper and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
  4. Place the ground beef and pork in a large bowl and add the cooked onions, garlic and crushed red pepper. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. Roll the mixture into balls weighing 2 ounces each. (A ¼ cup measure is a good way to get a 2 ounce portion). You should end up with 14 nice sized meatballs. Place them on the sheet pan about 1 inch apart from each other.
  6. Put the meatballs in the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F degrees.
