Classic Italian meatballs

1 cup  fresh bread crumbs

½ cup  whole milk

1 lb  ground beef

½ lb ground pork

½ lb  Italian sausage, casings removed

1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Kosher salt

Black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten to blend

1 cup  finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 (32-oz) jar or homemade marinara sauce

1. In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs and milk until combined. Let sit for 15 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, using your hands, combine beef, pork, sausage, onion, and garlic; season with salt and pepper.

3. Gently stir in bread crumb mixture, eggs, Parmesan, and parsley until just combined. Form beef mixture into 1 ½" balls.

4. In a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Working in batches, sear meatballs on all sides to develop a crust, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl or plate.

5. In the same skillet over medium-low heat, bring sauce to a simmer, then return meatballs to skillet. Cover and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 8 minutes more.

6. Top meatballs with more Parmesan and parsley.

7. Serve.
