- ½ cup (50 g) Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion. Add this mixture to the meat mixture and gently mix, being careful not to overwork it.
- Lightly grease your hands and form the mixture into meatballs using about 2 tablespoons per meatball. Place them into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and carefully drain and discard most of the grease.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, and grape jelly. Pour the sauce evenly over the meatballs.
- Cover with foil and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve warm.
