Simple Meatballs

4. 4

   Knead the mixture well.

5. 5

   Then shape into as many balls about an inch in diameter.

6. 6

   If you like, roll them in bread crumbs (optional).

7. 7

   Set a large skillet to heat with oil, and add the meatballs.

8. 8

   Cook, stirring, over medium heat until they are browned on all sides, then pour in half cup or slightly more milk.

9. 9

   Partially cover and simmer the meatballs until they are done and the sauce is considerably thickened.

10. 10

    Serve, spooning the sauce over the meatballs, with salad, spinach, mashed potatoes or pasta.
