This Classic Meatball Recipe features tender, juicy, and flavorful meatballs with onion, garlic, Italian herb seasoning, and a secret ingredient that keeps them moist! They're easy to make in the oven, and a great way to feed a crowd.
Preheat oven to 350F and lightly spray a large baking tray with olive oil spray.
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat off and cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the cubed bread and milk; stir together with a fork so it forms a paste.
In a large bowl, combine cooked onion/garlic, bread/milk mixture, and all remaining ingredients.
Use your hands to combine all the ingredients, then roll the mixture into meatballs, compacting it slightly with your hands. I make mine about 1 ½ tablespoons and I get about 30 meatballs.
Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake 30 minutes.
