Ingredients
Meatball Mixture
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 Tbsp Greek Freak Spiceology blend
- 1/3 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 Tablespoon finely diced garlic
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the meatballs.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Greek Freak Spiceology blend, finely diced red onion, diced garlic, and crumbled feta cheese. Use your clean hands to gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to overmix to keep meatballs tender.
- Shape Meatballs: Using a cookie scoop, portion out 24 equal-sized meatballs. Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth balls, then arrange them evenly spaced at least 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) indicating they are fully cooked.
- Serve & Store: Serve the meatballs immediately while hot and juicy. Alternatively, allow them to cool completely before storing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

- Ensure not to overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender and moist.
