MY DAD'S FAMOUS MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place the ground beef ( 7% fat is best ) in a large mixing bowl.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Then place eggs and bread crumbs in and mix well with your hands.
• Then put in all spices. The best thing to do is sprinkle them over the mixture evenly. I made the measurements the best I could, but I have never really measured before. I only went by my own judgment.
• Using a broiling pan so that the grease drips down inside of it, roll your meatballs according to size.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, turning the meatballs half way through.

ANGELA'S FAMOUS MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine all of the meatball ingredients in large bowl until well mixed. Shape into small balls and place on buttered casserole dish in single layer. Bake until lightly browned on bottom of balls then stir around and bake a few minutes longer until firm. Time will depend on the size of the balls. approximately 20 minutes to 1/2 hour.
• While the meat is baking, put all Sauce ingredients in large pot and simmer. When the meatballs are finished baking, carefully scoop them out with a slotted spoon and put into sauce. Gently stir until well coated and heated through. At this point you can serve immediately or put in Crockpot for a party and keep them warm on a low setting. Enjoy!

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.

THE BEST MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

FAMOUS MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine ingredients for meatballs, rolling meatballs out by hand and placing in a 9x13-inch pan.
• Combine ingredients for sauce and pour over meatballs. (I've never timed how long it takes me to do this, I just estimated time without distractions ;).
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and place in a 350° oven for 45 minutes.
• Uncover and put back into oven for 15 additional minutes (note--I have also sprinkled about a cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top for the remaining 15 minutes and it turned out good).
• An extra note on the sauce, I usually double my sauce, however I do not double the vinegar, that's how my family enjoys it, you can fix them anyway you wish, it is a good dish to experiment with. You can also fix these in a crock pot on low heat over night.
