Start your morning with a hearty, protein-packed meal that comes together quickly. These savory meatballs combine ground beef, ground pork, and finely chopped ham for a rich flavor profile.

Serve them alongside eggs or top them with a rich sauce for a satisfying start to the day.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 4 ounces ham, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1Heat your oven to 375°F.
- 2Combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped ham, sea salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly. Shape the meat mixture into twelve meatballs, each about 1.5 inches wide.
- 3Place the shaped meatballs in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake them for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them occasionally so they brown evenly and cook all the way through.
- 4Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes.
- 5Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat the chilled meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet in a 350°F oven for about 3 minutes until warm.
