Ingredients
1 (6-ounce) package pepperoni slices
1 (8-ounce) container mushrooms
½ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic
1 pound ground beef
2 large eggs
¾ cup milk
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs or quick oats
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
In a food processor, pulse pepperoni until it completely ground. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
In the bowl with the pepperoni, add the mushroom mixture, ground beef, eggs, milk, panko, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon, portion the mixture onto the baking sheet. Using your hands, shape each portion into 1 1/2-inch balls. Return to the baking sheet.
Bake uncovered, turning halfway through, 17 to 20 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center.
Serve with pasta and marinara!
