For the Meatballs:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped onion OR shallot
  • ⅓ cup bread crumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley (optional for more flavor)

  • ½ teaspoon salt (or less, to taste)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, mustard, chopped onion or shallot, bread crumbs, dried parsley, dried garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
