Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture. The milk-soaked breadcrumbs act as the binder in place of egg, keeping the meatballs tender.
