Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb pork sausage
1 lb ground beef
2/3 c italian bread crumbs
1/2 c parmigiano-reggiano, grated
2 eggs
1/3 c fresh parsley
1/3 c finely minced onions
3 clove minced garlic
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
enough milk to moisten bread crumbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. In large bowl, combine the meats,cheese, bread crumbs soaked in milk,onion, eggs, garlic, parsley.salt ,pepper,italian seasoning, and worchestershire sauce
  • 2. Mix thoroughly, but don't over mix, will make the meatballs tough. The trick to moist meatballs is softening bread crumbs in the milk
  • 3. Form into 2 inch balls..brown in skillet with small amount of oil, on med heat, or bake in the oven for 20 min at 375. I do the oven method,Grandma always browned hers in olive oil and a little vegetable oil combined.
  • 4. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce, ENJOY! I make the balls bigger if using for meatballs subs. I slice them in half,flat side down on hoagie roll, add sauce, cheese, broil for about 10 min... I also smash them up and add them to my sauce for lasagna..
