Preparing the Meatballs

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Add the ground pork, ground beef, fresh herbs, onion, garlic, spices, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix everything until well combined.
  • Scoop the meat mixture using a cookie dough scoop to form the meatballs and then roll them in between the palm of your hands. Place them on a sheet pan that has been drizzled with olive oil.
  • After all of the meatballs have been rolled and placed on the sheet pan, bake them at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Making the Tzatziki Sauce

  • While the meatballs are cooking, make the tzatziki sauce. Add the cucumber, garlic, and dill to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • Add the cucumber mixture to the Greek yogurt and stir until well combined. Stir in the lemon juice and salt and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • When the meatballs are done, let them cool slightly and then serve with the tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
