    Mix onions, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and ground beef together in a bowl. Roll mixture into even-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter; place in a baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven until beef is no longer pink, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
