- 1/2 pound ground beef (use what you have could be all beef)
- 1/2 pound ground pork (use what you have could be all pork)
- 2 tsp low FODMAP Italian seasoning

- In a large bowl combine the ground meats, low FODMAP Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, egg, cheese, breadcrumbs and basil. Add half of the milk, mixing a little with your hands, then add the rest of the milk. If you over mix the meat they will become tough, so mix the meat a little more but only mix until they are barely 'mixed enough' to be considered an even mix.
- Add a frying pan to the stove top and turn on to medium heat. (Add infused garlic oil and olive oil)
- Scoop out 2 tbsp of meat per meatball and roll into balls, placing meatballs on lined baking pan as you go.
- Brown the meatballs on all sides. This is where you get amazing flavour, don't skip this step.
- As you go place the meatballs back on the cooking sheet.
- Space out the meatballs on the sheet and bake for 18 minutes, or until just cooked though.
- While meatballs are baking, make your sauce. See out recipe below for a suggestion.
