Ingredients
  • ½ cup finely crushed Marie Callender French Bread Garlic croutons
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ pound ground chuck
  • ½ pound ground veal
  • ½ cup ground pork (unseasoned)
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 5 cloves fresh garlic, put through a garlic press
  • 2 teaspoons salt (I use sea salt)
  • pepper to taste

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, pour milk over crushed croutons; add beaten egg and mix together well.
  2. Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix together gently (overworking the meat will result in tough meatballs). It is easiest to use your hands for the mixing process!
  3. When ingredients are well blended, form mixture into golf ball size meatballs (or whatever size you prefer).
  4. Freeze whatever you will not be using immediately.
  5. Lightly coat bottom of a large skillet with olive oil; fry meatballs on all sides over medium heat just to brown them.
  6. Spoon off excess grease from skillet before adding your favorite spaghetti sauce to the pan; simmer very gently for about 1 hour.
