2 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ cup minced onion
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 (23 ounce) jar marinara sauce

Steps:

Whisk together egg and milk in a large bowl. Add bread crumbs to moisten. Mix in ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently to combine. Cover bowl and refrigerate mixture for 1 hour for flavors to meld.
