Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• 1 small finely chopped onion
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry French onion soup mix
• ½ cup Italian dressing

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, and soup mix in a large bowl. Knead the mixture with your hands until well blended; it will be quite dry. Add eggs and Italian dressing and mix. Allow mixture to sit in the refrigerator 10 minutes.

Step 2

Pinch off just enough of the meatball mixture to fit comfortably inside your palm, then roll to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Step 3

Cover the bottom of a skillet lightly with olive oil and heat to medium-high. Add meatballs. Cook on one side for about 4 minutes, then turn and continue to cook until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 4 minutes more. You may need to cook these in batches depending on how large your skillet is.
