Italian Meatballs

1. 1

   Saute the fresh garlic and onion in the butter until onion is tender.

   Add the chopped parsley and saute for a minute.

3. 3

   Turn off the heat and set aside.

   In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, pork, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, cheese, and garlic powder.

5. 5

   Add the sauteed onion mixture and mix everything together by hand.

6. 6

   In a deep skillet, heat about 3 inches of oil.

7. 7

   (I actually use my deep fryer for this part.

8. 8

   That way I can fry about a dozen meatballs at once.)

9. 9

   I use a medium-sized cookie scoop so that the balls are uniform.

10. 10

    Scoop the mixture into the hot oil frying for about 3-4 minutes a side.

11. 11

    The meatballs will be a nice dark golden brown color.

12. 12

    Let them drain on a paper towel after you pull them out.

13. 13

    And repeat with the remaining meat mixture.

14. 14

    You can add them to a sauce or make meatball sandwiches with them.
