Ingredients

2 pounds 80% lean ground beef

1 cup panko bread crumbs

2 eggs

1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon onion powder

Italian parsley for garnish

Shredded parmesan cheese for serving

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and onion powder. Set aside.
2. Place ground beef, eggs and panko crumbs to a larger bowl. Add seasoning mixture and mix together with meat, eggs and panko using your hands or a fork. Mix lightly, but thoroughly.
3. Using a larger cookie scoop, form your meatballs and place them on a parchment lined, large sheet pan.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 25 – 30 minutes. When they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees, your meatballs are done.

Enjoy!
