Ingredients

1 1/2 Lbs equal amounts of Beef, Veal, and Pork
2 Large Eggs
Parsley, a lot cut up
Black Pepper to taste
1/4 Cup Grated Cheese
1/4 Cup Bread Crumbs
Fresh Garlic, about 4 Cloves, sliced
Olive Oil

Gravy - for recipe <click here>

• Mix all but Olive Oil together and form Meatballs.

• Fry Meatballs in Olive Oil, and brown outsides only . . . they will cook in the Gravy and be softer and taste better.

• As they are done, scoop them up, and put them in the Sauce. It's sauce now. When the meat is in, it becomes GRAVY. (See recipe)

• Simmer the Gravy (with the Meatballs) for at least 2 - 3 hours, stirring every 15 minutes or so. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pot while stirring.

Serves 4 - 6
