Italian Meatballs

By zircon50

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 lb. ground pork
• 1 cup pecorino cheese, grated
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 tbsp. parsley, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 loaf bread
• 1 cup milk
• 4 eggs
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take out the interior of the bread, and give it a rough chop — you don't want any crust. Soak the inside parts of the bread in milk until they're soft.

Squeeze the milk out of the soaked bread, and discard the milk.

In a large bowl, combine soaked bread pieces with the remaining ingredients, mixing to incorporate them. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes, covered.

Roll the meat mixture into balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes.
