Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 beaten egg, 0.25 cup finely chopped onion, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork.
Step 2
Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, about 12 total. You should have a smooth, compact ball that holds its shape.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally, about 8-10 minutes total. The meatballs are done when they are browned and cooked through, with no pink in the center.
Step 4
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for 2 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as mustard or ketchup.
