Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound sausage
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup quick oatmeal
  • 3 tablespoons onions diced finely
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Start by adding your ground beef, sausage, oats, milk, onion, salt and pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Mix well and then let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
  • With a cookie scoop 1 inch or 2 inch size, begin rolling meatballs into balls and place on a baking sheet or tray.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully place the meatballs in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes for 1 inch size meatballs. Or 15-17 minutes for 2 inch size meatballs.
  • You need to shake or rotate the meatballs every 5 minutes. Cook until internal temperature reads 165 degrees.
  • Once the air fryer meatballs are done, remove and serve with a dipping sauce, pasta sauce, etc.

Notes

Meat - You can swap the pork with turkey if you want. I find the sausage adds a lot of flavor and juicy texture to the meatballs.
Seasonings - Change up how you season the meatballs if you would like.
Storing - You can store meatballs for 3-4 days in the fridge. Or you can freeze for 2-3 months.
Cooking Time - All air fryers heat slightly different, and depending on the size of your balls the cook time will vary. So make sure to go with the internal temperature.
