MAMA IULIUCCI'S FAMOUS MEAT-A-BALLS (ITALIAN MEATBALLS)

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients gently in a large bowl until well combined.
• Roll meatballs 1 1/2- 1 3/4" in diameter.
• Heat about 1/4" of oil over medium heat in a large frying pan.
• Fry meatballs in oil, rolling frequently, until evenly browned and juices run clear.
• Drop meatballs in your favorite sauce (I highly recommend My Mama Iuliucci's"Don't Skip a Step" Spaghetti Sauce recipe#26947) and let simmer for awhile to flavor sauce or just serve with your favorite pasta and sauce.
• Tip: You can also bake or broil these if the frying part is too much of a hassle-- I use my broiler pan if I bake them, so the fat drips down and away from the meatballs.

RAO'S FAMOUS MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place the meat and rub the minced garlic into it.
• Press the meat in the bowl.
• Add in this order: Salt, pepper, parsley, 2 eggs and water. Then sprinkle the cheese over the top as if you are going to cover the water. Finally, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese.
• Mix from the outside of the bowl to the middle, folding it inches Do not overmix!
• After the ingredients are mixed, start to roll the meatballs in your hands, about 6 ounces per meatball.
• After your meatballs are rolled, take a 10 inch frying pan and add your oil and the reserved whole clove of garlic and heat. When the clove starts to brown, the oil is ready.
• Fry the meatballs, cooking and flipping until golden brown, about 4 1/2 to 5 minutes per side.
• Remove the meatballs after frying and put on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
• (If you want you can bake the meatballs on a lightly greased tray at 350 degrees-the taste is totally different than frying).
• Add the meatballs to your tomato sauce to finish cooking.
• Let simmer for at least 45-60 minutes.
• Serve with the sauce.
