Authentic Italian Meatballs
1 Pound Mild Italian Sausage, 1 Pound ground Veal, 1 Pound ground Beef, 2 Cups fresh grated Romano Cheese, 1 Bunch of Italian Parsley minced, 1/4 Cup of minced Garlic, 2 Tbs. fresh ground Pepper, 4 Large Eggs, 1 1/2 Cup fresh ground Breadcrumbs.
Direction: Combine all
ingredients together until mixed together good. If to dry add a little
cold water. It should be moist but not wet.
Take a ice cream scooper and scoop in meat mixer. Round off
meatball in your hand. Should make approximately round 25 meatballs.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Bake on cookie sheet for 30 minutes. After
you remove your meatballs from oven place them in your Marinara sauce.
Simmer for about 30 minutes in sauce. I like Barilla Marinara sauce, but
you can use your favorite Marinara sauce. Meatballs can also be frozen
but must cook in oven as above. Then cool and put in freezer bags and
freeze. When ready to eat no need to thaw just drop in Marinara and
simmer as above...... Kelly Hill, Success Chapter #87
