Method

• Place all of the meat into the large mixing bowl. If you bought italian sausage in wrappings, take it out of the wrappings. Slightly break down the meat
• Put the dry ingredients (herbs, spices, and bread crumbs) into the bowl and stir a little bit to distribute the ingredients
• Crack your eggs and add them to the meat
• Stir in one direction with a spoon for ~5 minutes, or until everything is evenly distributed. It should be relatively easy to see when the pork and beef are mixing, as the color of the meat will start to become a solid color
• Let rest covered for around 15 minutes while your oven preheats. Room temperature meats can cook a bit more evenly
• Preheat oven to 375
• Scoop roughly 2tbsp of meat mixture and form into a ball. Place your meatball in your small muffin pan crevasses until meat is gone
• Cook at 375 for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly crispy on top

*Note: The meat is fairly fatty so you may want to put a baking tray underneath your muffin pan to catch the drippings so you don’t start a fire in your oven. Smokey flavors are not what we are aiming for on these.
