Meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served in many different ways. They are easy to make, and you can use a variety of ingredients to create different flavor profiles. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make meatballs from mince:

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the mince, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley (if using). Mix everything together until well combined. You can use your hands to mix, but be sure not to overwork the meat, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Once the mixture is well combined, take a small amount of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll it into a ball between the palms of your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all the meat has been used.
Place the meatballs onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving a little space between each ball to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. You can check if they’re cooked by cutting one in half and making sure there’s no pink meat inside.
Once the meatballs are cooked, you can serve them hot with your favorite sauce, pasta, or vegetables. Alternatively, you can let them cool and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months.
