Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix all ingredients gently in large bowl until well combined

2. Roll meatballs 1 1/2-1 3/4" in diameter.

3. Heat about 1/4" of oil over medium heat in large frying pan.

4. Fry meatballs in oil, rolling frequently, until evenly browned and juices run clear.

5. Drop meatballs in your favorite sauce and let simmer for awhile to flavor sauce or just serve with your favorite pasta and sauce.

6. Tip: You can also bake or broil these if the frying part is too much hassle--I use my broiler pan if I bake them so that the fat drips down and away from the meatballs.
