INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pre-heat grill to 400°F. Combine chuck, pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl and mix by hand until just blended.

2. Roll mixture into 1½” diameter meatballs. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste.

3. Brush meatballs with olive oil and place on grill. Turn occasionally until well-browned on all sides and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side.

4. Remove meatballs, serve with your favorite sauce and top with more cheese, if desired.

Alternately, transfer grilled meatballs and sauce to a pan on medium heat and turn to evenly coat. Serve on toasted slider buns, if desired.
