Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup French onion soup
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, French onion soup, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  4. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned on the outside.
