Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
• Olive oil, for brushing

Equipment:

• Arteflame grill
• Mixing bowl
• Meat thermometer (optional but recommended)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan, garlic, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined but avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.

2. Form the Meatballs:

   • Roll the mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should get around 20-24 meatballs from this mixture.  To get a better sear and a crispier outside, you can make the meat "balls" into meat "patties" instead!

3. Preheat the Arteflame Grill:

   • Fire up your Arteflame grill and get it ready to grill. Ensure it's hot before you start grilling for the best results.

4. Grill the Meatballs:

   • Lightly brush each meatball with olive oil. Place them on the grill grate for a quick sear.  Once seared, put them on the flat cooktop and grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and a nice char on all sides. The meatballs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

5. Serving Suggestions:

   • Serve the grilled meatballs hot with your choice of dipping sauce, over spaghetti, or stuffed into a sub roll with marinara sauce and melted cheese.
