Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 10×13-inch baking dish with butter.
Combine in a large bowl the ground beef, ground pork, egg, ricotta, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended, then shape into even-sized meatballs.
Roll each meatball in pork rind crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. Arrange the coated meatballs in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Sauté in a skillet over medium heat the butter until melted, then add the minced garlic. Cook until aromatic.
