Meatballs

Sarah Mikulski
Your favorite Italian's secret meatball recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. meatloaf mix They have meatball mix at my Italian market already made. But, if they don't have it at yours, it's equal parts veal, pork, and ground beef.
  • ½ lb. veal
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs If towards the end, the meatball mixture starts to get too wet, you can add more breadcrumbs.
  • ½ t pepper
  • ½ t salt
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup parsley fresh
  • ¼ cup pecorino romano
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 28 oz. tomato sauce This tomato sauce should already be done up with whatever you normally like in your tomato sauce. I usually do garlic, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, etc!

Instructions
 

  • Combine all of the ingredients, except the tomato sauce, together.
  • Heat your tomato sauce in a big pot over low/medium heat.
  • Form your meat into meatballs.
  • Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce. Cook for at least 3 hours, stirring frequently. The longer they simmer the better.
