Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, ricotta cheese, eggs, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until well combined, taking care not to overwork the meat to maintain a tender texture. Homemade meatballs are tastier than store-bought versions.

Form the mixture into medium-sized meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have a golden-brown exterior. You can check for doneness by cutting one in half; it should no longer be pink inside.

Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce or pasta, or enjoy them as is.

For best results, make sure to handle the meat gently when forming the meatballs to prevent them from becoming tough.

If you have leftovers, meatballs can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for later use.

Experiment with different sauces, herbs, and cheeses to create your perfect meatball dish. Enjoy your cooking!
