HOW TO MAKE MEATBALLS (ITALIAN MEATBALL RECIPE)

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients, except for the olive oil, together in a bowl. I pour the milk onto the breadcrumbs, and let it soak in for a few minutes before proceeding. Mix until evenly combined.
• Shape into meatballs (whatever size you prefer) and place in a hot frying pan with olive oil. (Alternatively, drop them into simmering tomato sauce and continue to simmer for at least another 40 minutes or so.)
• Cook until browned all over. If you are using them in sauce, they will continue to cook, so there is no need to make sure they are completely cooked through. On the other hand, if you will eat them without further simmering in sauce, make sure they are thoroughly cooked. Serve as desired.
