Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper or foil.
In a large mixing bowl, add the slice of bread and pour the milk over the top of it. Let it sit until the bread completely absorbs the milk.
Add the egg, minced garlic, dehydrated onion, dried herbs, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands to mix until the bread and eggs are completely broken up and combined with the seasonings.
Add the ground beef and pork and mix gently with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed. (Be careful not to overmix the meat or it will make dense meatballs.)
Use a 1 or 1 1/2 ounce cookie scoop to portion the meatballs into 24 pieces on the prepared sheet pans. 12 meatballs per sheet pan will make sure they cook evenly and don't get overcrowded.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 14-17 minutes until cooked to an internal temperature of 160˚F.
Use the meatballs immediately or cool and store for use later. (See note below)
