  • 1 pound ground beef chuck
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 3 tablespoons pecorino-romano cheese grated
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • 4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Extra-virgin olive oil

Recipe Method

1. In a large mixing bowl, gently break apart of the beef with a fork. Add onion, breadcrumbs, parmesan, pecorino-romano, ketchup, parsley, basil, salt, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder and stir gently to combine. Stir in the egg until just incorporated.

2. Using your hands, shape the meat into 1-inch balls, to make about 60 meatballs.

3. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs and cook, turning, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes, adding more oil when necessary. Drain on paper towels.
