Ingredients: 1 pound Ground Beef; 1 pound Ground Pork; 4 whole Eggs, Beaten; 1- 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs; 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated; 1- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder; 1 teaspoon Black Pepper; 3/4 teaspoons Salt; 1/2 teaspoons Oregano; 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Servings: persons

1 pound Ground Beef
1 pound Ground Pork
4 whole Eggs, Beaten
1- 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
1- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
3/4 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Oregano
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1
In a large, wide bowl, combine all ingredients except for oil and mix well, using your fingers or a fork.
2
Working with small sections of the meat mixture, roll each section between your palms to create a ball about 1 in diameter.
3
Continue until the entire mixture has been rolled into balls.
4
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until oil glistens and pan is hot.
5
Add meatballs to pan to form a single layer, allowing a bit of space between the meatballs.
6
Turn meatballs as the bottom side begins to brown, allowing a crisp exterior to form on as much of the meatball as possible, and until meatballs are cooked through.
7
Remove meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease.
8
Note: If serving meatballs over spaghetti, bring a pot of water to a boil while you are heating the oil in the frying pan.
9
Add pasta and cook to al dente, usually about 7-8 minutes.
10
Heat your favorite pasta sauce in a separate pan.
11
You can add the meatballs directly to the pasta sauce if you wish, but I prefer to place them on top of each plate of pasta & sauce.
12
Garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.
