This recipe has been handed down in my Italian family. Each generation tweaking it a little. I make enough of these meatballs for 3 or 4 meals (I serve 5 people each time). I freeze the cooked meatballs in serving size baggies - about 20 per meal.

How To Make meatballs for sauce

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Roll into 1 inch balls
Step 3

Place oil in large frying pan (enough to cover bottom by 1/2 inch). Turn heat on to medium high.
Step 4

Place meatballs in pan of oil - depending on the size of you pan, this might take 3 or 4 batches of frying. Turn balls after 3 or 4 minutes and let cook for another 3 or 4 minutes until all are cooked. Drain on paper towel in bowl.
Step 5

Serve with your favorite marinara sauce (my favorite is Colella Spaghetti Sauce - recipe is on this site).
