Add 1 cup panko bread crumbs to a large bowl and cover with 3 tbsp milk. Lightly toss to rehydrate the breadcrumbs. To the same bowl add 1 pound ground beef, 1 pound ground pork, 1/2 cup diced parsley, 1 heaping cup parmesan, 1 large egg, 1 tsp salt and a few cracks of black pepper.
Wet your hands in cold water then use them to mix the meatball mixture. Don't worry too much about over mixing, just take your time to make sure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated throughout. Wetting your hands before mixing will help prevent sticking.
Shape the mixture into even balls, dipping your hands in cold water occasionally to avoid sticking. Each meatball should be about 2.5oz, or roughly 3-4 tbsp. This will give you a total of about 15!
Add the meatballs to your favourite sauce, like my 5-ingredient easy weeknight red sauce. And simmer on low for 20-30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
