How to Make Italian Meatballs

Step-by-Step

Shape into balls about golf ball size (keep hands moistened with water)
Brown in about 1/2 cup olive oil. Drain and add to simmering spaghetti sauce. Simmer for at least an hour or so.
Tastes even better if made a day ahead & refrigerated over-nite then reheated. My family all love this recipe.
