- 1 whole lime

Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 beaten egg, 1 minced garlic clove, and 0.5 tsp salt. Mix until just combined.

Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. You should get about 12.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer, not crowding the pan.

Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. They should feel firm and reach 160°F inside.
