Easiest Classic Italian Meatballs

1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
4 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated (as with a microplane)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Olive oil or cooking spray, to cook

1. Combine all ingredients except for the olive oil in a large bowl and mix well using your hands or a wooden spoon. Roll mixture into 1-2″ balls.

2. Cook meatballs: I like to brown them in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or enough to cover the bottom of your frying pan), about 2 minutes on one side and another 2 minutes on the other, then finish them in a 350 degree oven or in a simmering soup or sauce until cooked through, exact time will vary depending on how large you make them.
