• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, black pepper, paprika, and nutmeg. Use your hands to thoroughly combine all the ingredients.
2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or plate.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs to the skillet, one by one. Leave some space between each meatball to ensure even cooking.
