The key to good meatballs is not measuring anything. You have to go by your eyeballs! Chopped meat - about a pound or so Seasoned bread crumbs - not bread garlic minced lots and lots of pecorino romano cheese salt 2 eggs parsley Mix with your hands (make sure you wash them first) Form meatballs whichever size you want. Make a big pot of sauce (or gravy if you are Italian) NO jar sauce! Put the meatballs in without browning them first. When the sauce starts to bubble, lower the heat to simmer and cover the pot. Cook for at least 4 hours stirring occasionally. Taste one meatball to make sure it's cooked and if not, simmer for a bit longer.
