Chef's tip
Bacon is smokier than pancetta - use the same amount.
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
⅓ cup whole milk
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
⅔ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp dried basil

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are lightly crisp, about 5–6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Pour off all but about 1 tsp of the fat from the skillet.
2
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
