The Best Meatballs Youll Ever Have Recipes

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

Steps:

• Place tomato sauce in large pot on the stove on medium heat.
• Soak crustless bread in medium bowl with the two cups of water about 2 minutes until bread is totally moistened; squeeze out excess water.
• In a large bowl combine bread and all other ingredients except water, mix well with hands until all are combined. Add water if needed.
• Transfer onto plastic wrap and flatten meat to about 1/4 inch (this is an easy method to make meatballs eaqual in size, but optional of course; score meat mixture into 2 inch squares, (like a checker board).
• Roll'em up and place them in sauce.
• Stew in sauce for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients well.
• Shape into meatballs.(I make the meatballs a good handful. They are probably 1 1/2 inches in diameter or more).
• You may freeze for later use or refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. Test for doneness because it does depend on the size of your meatball.
• These may also be simmered in your sauce without baking. I bake them on a roasting rack to let the fat drip into the pan below, but you don't have to.
• To cook in sauce,drop gently into simmering sauce and don't stir for at least 25 minutes or the meatballs will break. Simmer for a total of about 45 for your meatballs to be done. Test one to be sure.
• Skim the fat off the top of the sauce if you simmer the meatballs.
