Ingredients: 
  • 700g Farm88 premium beef mince
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese blend or tasty, grated
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  2. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in a single layer and sear for a couple of minutes per side. Transfer to plate.
