Grandma's Meatballs

Ingredients:
3/4 -1 pound ground beef
3/4-1  pound ground pork
1 egg
3-4 slices of bread soaked in milk (French bread is best)
Italian parsley to taste (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2-3/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Squeeze the excess milk out of the bread and mix with all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Make sure to mix the ingredients very well.  Shape into desired size meatballs.  Add the meat balls to a pot of sauce and cook  for at least 2 hours.  Do not fry or bake before adding to the sauce. The meatballs will be light and fluffy!

Note:  You should double the Basic Marinara Sauce recipe when making meatballs.

Salute!
