[quote=Anonymous]If you are trying meatballs for the first time, try getting some meatloaf mix (combines ground beef, veal, and pork).  The beef gives bite and flavor but is course by itself (tastes like burger), the veal is tender but bland, and the pork adds some fat.  For a pound of meatloaf mix, soak a 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of water.  Combine the meat mix, soaked crumbs, one egg, a 1/2 cup of parm. (too much parm and the meatballs will be really salty), a teaspoon of dried parsley, and some onion and garlic powder ( a quick shake).  You can easily make double the recipe for more people.  I like to mix by hand so everything is not packed but well mixed.

You need to cook the meatballs before putting them into sauce, or the meatballs with fall apart (and you get meat sauce).   You can roast or fry (it does not matter).  I like to make small meatballs about the size of a golf ball, and roast them in a tray because it is less work and you get better shape.  Put in hot oven (450) for about 10 minutes, turn, and roast for another 10 minutes until the outside of the meatballs is nice and brown.  Then, put them in sauce and simmer for a while (the centers may be uncooked after the roasting).

It sounds like work, but really, you are mixing, rolling, and baking for about 1/2 an hour. [/quote]
