Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20) For juiciness; leaner will be drier.
  • 1/2 cup French onion dip The creamy dip is the seasoning backbone.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Use panko for a lighter texture.
  • 1 large egg Helps bind.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and lightly oil it.
  2. In a large bowl, add the ground beef, French onion dip, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  3. Mix gently with your hands or a fork until combined—don't overwork the meat.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about 20–24). Place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the meatballs are no longer pink inside.
  2. A quick broil for 1–2 minutes at the end will deepen color if desired.
Serving
  1. Transfer to a platter and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Don't overmix the meat; gentle combining keeps meatballs tender. Let the formed meatballs sit 10 minutes in the fridge before baking to firm up shape.
