Ingredients

1 lb ground beef or ground veal ( You can substitute up to 50% ground pork if using beef)

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon oregano

1 tablespoon fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

( We make up to 6 batches at once which I freeze and used within 3 months )

Instructions

1) Preheat oven to 400F

2) Mix together Milk and Bread crumbs until milk is absorbed

3) In a large bowl, mix in one pound of meat, 1 egg, bread crumb and milk mixture, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 tablespoon of fresh parsely, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of fresh ground pepper, 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese.

4) Roll into balls approximately 1 1/2 inches and place on a baking sheet

5) Bake 15 minutes turning half way as not to brown bottoms ( The goal here is to form a 'crust' on the meatball so they do not fall apart in the sauce)

6) Either transfer to sauce or freeze for future use  ( Note that the meatballs are only partially cooked at this point )

7) Place partially cooked (or previously frozen) meatballs into a sauce pan along with a jar of  Don Carbone sauce ( ensure meatballs are covered ) and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours

8) Pour sauce and meatballs over your favourite pasta and enjoy!

Note: Like any recipe, you should adjust it to your taste. Add and subtract  seasoning amounts to your liking.
