Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Form ground beef into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and season with salt and pepper.

Notes
For added juiciness, use beef with a higher fat content, like 80/20. Make cleanup easier by using parchment paper in the skillet.
