Grandma’s Italian Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • – milk, enough to moisten bread crumbs
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 1/3 cup finely minced onions
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
STEP 1
Soak the bread crumbs in enough milk to moisten them. The trick to moist meatballs is softening bread crumbs in the milk. In a large bowl, combine the meats, cheese, soaked bread crumbs, onion, eggs, garlic, garlic powder, parsley, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce.
STEP 2
Mix thoroughly. Make sure not to over-mix or that will make the meatballs tough.
STEP 3
Form into 2-inch balls.
STEP 4
Brown the meatballs in a skillet with a small amount of oil on medium heat. Or, bake meatballs in the oven for 20 min at 375 degrees F. I do the oven method. Grandma always browned hers in olive oil and a little vegetable oil.
  • STEP 5
    Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce.
