Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Place dried bread cubes in a bowl & cover with cold water for 1 hr.
Step #2 Drain & squeeze the water out with your hands.
Step #3 Place the bread into a bowl & add the remaining ingredients, except the Olive Oil.
Step #4 Mix everything together with your hands very well (my butcher grinds all the meat & pork fat together for me at time of purchase, it definitely helps the mixing process).
Step #5 Grind the mixture in a food processor/blender with the Olive Oil, if you have a good sized processor you should be able to do it in two batches, use half the oil each time.
Step #6 Grind the mixture very fine it will take a few mins; you may have to scrape the bowl down a time or two.
Step #7 Return all to the bowl & mix again with your hands.
Step #8 Form into meatballs just smaller than a golf ball.
Step #9 The mixture will stick to your hands so keep some cold water handy to moisten your hands when this happens.
Step #10 Place the meatballs on a lightly oiled pan & cooked for 25 mins.
Step #11 Use these meatballs for spaghetti & meatballs.
Step #12 If you are using a homemade sauce place sauce & meatballs in a slow cooker (aka crockpot) for 4 hrs or so.
Step #13 I like just throwing them in the oven topped with sauce & mozzarella cheese & cook them at 375F for 25 mins.
Step #14 I usually double up this recipe & freeze the meatballs for future meals.
Step #15 They turn out just as good for the next meal.
