OLD SCHOOL ITALIAN MEATBALLS

This is a family recipe passed down to me from my grandmother who got it passed down from her mother, and so on.

Serves 25-30 meatballs

INGREDIENTS:

• ³/₄ pound gr. sirloin
• ¹/₂ pound gr. veal
• 1/4-1/2 pounds gr. pork
• 1/2-1 cups Italian style bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• ³/₄ cup freshly grated romano cheese
• ¹/₂ bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper, or more if you like things hot
• 2 teaspoons basil
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely diced
• salt and pepper as desired
• Splash of milk

METHOD

Add all the ingredients in a large bowl.

Mix well with hands. If mixture is to dry add a splash or two of milk until you can form into balls.

Place meatballs on a cookie sheet, or shallow baking dish.

Bake meatballs in preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes depending on size, or until no longer pink.
