Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 pound ground beef
  • 1/3 ground pork
  • 1/3 pound veal
  • 2 slices white bread
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the ingredients above in a large glass bowl and mix well with clean hands.
  • Once everything is combined form small meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs until they are totally seared to keep the juices in. FREEZING: If you want to freeze meatballs, at this point remove them from the pan and place them in a tightly sealed freezer bag. To thaw, remove from freezer and cook in tomato sauce per instructions below.
  • Then put the meatballs in a pot of spaghetti sauce and cook for 1 hour.
