MEATBALLS MY DADS

Steps:

• 1. Well I have never written down the recipe for this so I will do the best I can. Start with cutting up half a pepper and half of a white onion and one egg and a little milk in your blender, blend til all is liquid.
• 2. Pour the egg and pepper mixture into a bowl and add the seasoned bread crumbs. Let sit ` now the mixture should be thickened but not to thick, this is how your meatballs will come out, if to runny the meatballs will fall apart, if to thick the meatballs will be dry so get it just right by adding more milk or an egg or if to wet more breadcrumbs.
• 3. Add your Italian seasoning to this mixture, I have shown what I add, but the amounts will be to your taste, add your hamburg. Put about a 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese in the meatball mixture and put some in a bowl to roll your meatballs in when you brown them, makes them crispy on the outside.
• 4. In a large skillet (I use my cast iron one) saute' some peppers and onions in olive oil, and a little chopped garlic ( I use the jar in liquid) remove when soft but not to browned. Now add more olive oil and start adding your rolled up meatballs that have been dipped in the grated Parmesan and quickly brown them.
• 5. Now you can put them right in your sauce. Let all simmer for an hour at least or more. I also sprinkle some Parmesan in the sauce, a little sugar (to keep the acid down)

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.

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.
