Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix gently to combine.

Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop 2 tablespoons of the ground beef mixture and form into a ball, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meat, placing the meatballs a few inches apart.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness after 15 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees. Remove from heat and cover loosely with foil and let stand for 5 minutes. Enjoy as appetizers or with your favorite sauce!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Milk Tenderizing Secret 🥛
The milk in this recipe acts as a natural tenderizer and binder; let it fully soak into the meat mixture for 2-3 minutes before forming meatballs to ensure maximum juiciness and cohesion without breadcrumbs.
Uniform Size for Even Cooking 🎯
Use a 1.5-ounce ice cream scoop or measuring spoon to form identical meatballs, ensuring they cook evenly in the same 30-minute window without any undercooked centers.
Room Temperature Beef Makes a Difference 🌡️
Remove grass-fed beef from the fridge 15 minutes before mixing to allow it to reach room temperature, which prevents the mixture from becoming tough and ensures proper binding with the egg and cheese.
Oil the Baking Sheet Strategically 🛢️
Lightly oil your baking sheet and preheat it for 2 minutes before placing meatballs on it; this creates a gentle crust on the bottom while keeping the interior tender, eliminating the need for browning.
Finely Mince Your Aromatics 🧄
Mince the garlic and shallots into very small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the mixture and cook completely within 30 minutes, delivering intense flavor in every bite.
