Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
½ lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
¼ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
¾ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
olive oil spray

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk and formed a paste.
2
Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, garlic, Parmesan, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of breadcrumb paste remain; do not overwork the meat.
