Kick things off by warming your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—simple, practical, just like Grandma would have done.
Mix It Up, Farmhouse Style
In a big mixing bowl (the kind you’d make biscuit dough in), add the ground beef. Sprinkle in the panko, Parmesan, herbs, and spices. Crack in the eggs and roll up your sleeves. Using clean hands, gently mix everything together just until combined. Don’t overwork it—we want these meatballs tender and juicy, not tough.
Roll Those Beauties
Pinch off golf-ball-sized portions and roll them between your palms. Set each meatball on the baking sheet
Bake ’Em Up
Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, until the meatballs are golden, sizzling, and cooked through.
