Ingredients

2 eggs eggs
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 pounds ground beef
0.5 cup panko bread crumbs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Add ground beef and panko breadcrumbs; mix until thoroughly combined.
Shape the meat mixture into approximately 40 meatballs, each about 1 1/2 inches in size. Place them on ungreased baking sheets with rims.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the meatballs are fully cooked and no longer pink inside. An instant-read thermometer should register at least 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the center of a meatball.
