Ingredients

1 ½ cups Italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
½ cup grated Romano cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
salt to taste
1 pound ground beef
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
½ cup milk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Combine bread crumbs, eggs, Romano cheese, garlic, parsley, anchovy paste, and salt in a large bowl. Mix until eggs are well beaten. Add ground beef and sausage; mix to combine. Add milk and stir until mixture comes together.
Scoop out and roll together 2 tablespoons of mixture per meatball. Place meatballs very close together on the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a meatball reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.
