Easy beef meatballs made with simple ingredients and baked to perfection.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 40 meatballs 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Whisk eggs, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until combined.
  3. Add ground beef and panko; mix thoroughly.
  4. Shape beef mixture into about 40 golf ball-sized meatballs (about 1 ½-inches).
  5. Arrange on ungreased, rimmed baking sheets.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in centers, 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for best results.
  • Do not overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender.
  • Let meatballs rest for a few minutes after baking.
