Try our juicy pork meatballs made with succulent ground pork and savory spices. Baked in the oven and ready in just 30 minutes, these meatballs are an irresistible addition to any meal.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) while preparing the meatballs.
Cooking Instructions
Combine the meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and roll them with the palm of your hand into round balls. There should be enough mixture to make 24 balls.
Place the meatballs 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them for 18 minutes.
Remove them from the oven and place them in a shallow baking dish. Cover the pork meatballs with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. (optional)
Set the oven to broil and return the cooked meatballs to the oven for another 5 minutes until the sauce starts to bubble and the cheese melts.
Serve immediately and ENJOY!
Recipe Notes
I always garnish the baked meatballs with parmesan cheese and minced fresh herbs, like chopped fresh parsley and fresh basil leaves.
Italian sausage, ground turkey, and ground chicken also work well for meatballs if you don't want to use ground beef.
If you have some Italian seasoning hanging around in your cupboard, feel free to add a teaspoon of It to the mixture. It will give the meatballs a bit more flavor.
