- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground pork (if using), breadcrumbs, egg, milk, diced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Take a small amount of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a small portion of shredded cheese in the center and fold the meat around it, forming a bite-sized ball.
