Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, parsley, chopped onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
