#1187 - Homemade Meatballs

(by Aunt Janie [McNevich] Baronowski)

4 slices bread
1lb. ground chuck
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
2 TBSP chopped parsley
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 TBSP canola oil
water or milk

Place some water or milk in a bowl--soak each piece of bread in the water or milk, then carefully squeeze the moisture from the bread. Break the bread slices into bite sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Add the ground chuck, beaten eggs, parsley, cheese, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper. Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients thoroughly. Form the mixture into small, medium or large meatballs--place each on a plate and continue until you run out of the mixture. In a skillet over medium low heat add canola oil. Add meatballs to the skillet and brown them on all sides. Add them to your favorite pasta sauce or pasta dish.
