Ingredients

• 2 eggs

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
• 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk eggs, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until combined. Add ground beef and panko; mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Shape beef mixture into about 40 golf ball-sized meatballs (about 1 ½-inches). Arrange on ungreased, rimmed baking sheets.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in centers, 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
