Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork, lamb, ground round, cheese, egg, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs. Using your hands, mix all ingredients until well incorporated. Use immediately or place in refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  3. Using a scale, weigh meatballs into 1-ounce portions and place on a wire rack set in a sheet pan. Using your hands, shape the meatballs into rounds, roll in the bread crumbs and place the meatballs in individual, miniature muffin tin cups. Bake for 17 minutes or until cooked through.
Recipe Notes

I changed from 1 1/2 to 1 oz meatballs, because they were kind of big.

Optional – original recipe called for the meatballs to be rolled in 1/4 C bread crumbs, but I don’t think it’s necessary, so I removed that.  But you’re welcome to add it back!
