Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions and cook until soft and transparent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and milk and let sit for 10 minutes.

Strain what's left of the milk off of the bread crumbs. Discard the milk.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, the cooled onion and garlic mixture, the egg and the bread crumbs. (Light hands here!) Don't over mix.

With lightly oiled hands, gently pat together 3 ounces of the mixture at a time to form the meatballs (not too tight) and place in a lightly oiled casserole dish, leaving plenty of space between.

Note: If you have a scale, weigh each meatball to get a consistent size so they all get done at the same time.

Cover the dish with foil and poke holes in the top to ventilate.

Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more.

Serve with your favorite sauce.
