Authentic Italian Meatballs

Meatball recipes are often challenged by chefs who claim, "Mine are the best!" Even though my meatballs ARE the best, I will make no such claim. Try them for yourself! This meatball recipe was given to me by my father who got it from a little old lady from Italy that he knew. It's amazing that she gave up her recipe to him, but I sure am glad she did!

INGREDIENTS 

SERVINGS 10 

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand.

Use your bare hands for best results.

Roll meatballs to about the size of a golf ball.

Drop raw meatballs into large (I use a stock pot) pot of sauce.

(I have an incredible sauce recipe {#92096} I use for my meatballs).

Simmer for about 3 hours.
