My Italian Meatballs image

Restaurant quality meatballs in your home. These mouthwatering meatballs serve 10-15 people. I used to make these when I was younger, then life got in the way and frozen meatballs got better so this recipe fell by the wayside. I am retired now and cooking has once more become an artful expression. I hope your family enjoys...

Number Of Ingredients 12

THE MEATBALLS
2 lb ground beef
1 lb bulk italian sausage
1 c bread crumbs
1/2 c grated romano cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper ground
2 clove garlic minced
2 Tbsp dried italian seasoning
SAUCE
3 qt itaian sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Place your sauce in a large pot and warm to simmer.. You can use any Italian pasta sauce. I make my own, but that's a different recipe.
  • 2. Put all the meatball ingredients in a bowl. Wash your hands.
  • 3. Use your hands to combine all ingredients. This will take a little time. If your hands become cold, run them under warm(not hot) water. When they warm up resume mixing.
  • 4. To make the meatballs, roll the meat between the palms of your hands until it forms a smooth, round ball.
  • 5. Drop them carefully into the simmering sauce and cook for at least an hour. I cook them all afternoon at just barely a simmer. You will notice fat rising to the top of the sauce, skim this off before serving.
  • 6. You can make these any size. This will make about 30-35 2 inch meatballs.
  • 7. Ladle sauce and meatballs over spaghetti. An oil and vinegar salad, crusty bread and good chianti will round off this old word recipe.
