Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground bison
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, finely minced
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- In a large bowl, mix the softened breadcrumbs, ground bison, Parmesan cheese, minced onion, beaten egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. You should have about 18 to 20 meatballs.
