1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork (breakfast or mild Italian sausage is preferred)
1 small onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced (more to taste)
1 egg
¾ cup romano cheese, shredded
½ cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon rosemary
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon basil

1
Preheat oven to 400F.
2
Generously spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
3
I prefer using a sprayed broiling rack so the grease separates from the meatballs.
4
Mix all ingredients; should be 'moist' but not 'sloppy' -- add a bit more breadcrumb if necessary.
5
Form into meatballs, about inch and a half across or so
6
Plan ahead!
7
Slightly flatten a dozen meatballs so they don't roll away when you make sandwiches --
8
Place on sprayed sheet or rack close together without touching.
9
Bake 15-20 minutes or until done through.
10
Serve on top of pasta with favorite sauce; they are *awesome* on long rolls with sauce and mozzarella or provolone.
11
* Note: Can substitute some/all Romano cheese for shredded Parmesan cheese.
12
* Number of meatballs and cooking length is dependent on how big you make them.
