First time making homemade meatballs and I have a recipe that calls for pork and beef, but I was wondering if I can get away with just using beef.
Heres the recipe:
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 lb. Ground Pork
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup of milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion diced
2 eggs
1/4 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
3 cloves of garlic crushed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried italian herb seasoning
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Soak bread crumbs in milk in a small bowl for 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in hot oil until translucent, about 20 minutes.
Mix beef and pork together in a large bowl. Stir onions, bread crumb mixture, eggs, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, Italian herb seasoning, and Parmesan cheese into meat mixture with a rubber spatula until combined.
Cover and refrigerate for about one hour.
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Using wet hands, form meat mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
So like I said I have never made meatballs before and I know some people use beef and pork or even beef/pork/veal.
I'm just wondering if I use beef alone would the recipe need to be altered.
Thanks for any help or tips.
bon appetit
