Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 small finely chopped onion
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry French onion soup mix
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
• 0.5 cup Italian dressing

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix beef, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, and soup mix together in a large bowl with your hands until well blended; it will be quite dry. Mix in Italian dressing and eggs until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Pinch off just enough meat mixture to fit comfortably inside your palm, then roll it into ball. Repeat to form remaining meatballs.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary and flipping often, cook meatballs in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
