Directions:
Directions:
1) Bread Crumbs – Fine quality Italian bread. Dry for two days. Grate in food processor. Shake and push crumbs through strainer to get even texture. (Take the time to do this, it's important.)
2) Meatballs – Combine beef, veal, pork in a large bowl. Add eggs, cheese, parsley, garlic, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
3) Using your hands, blend the ingredients together. Blend bread crumbs into the mix. Slowly add water, 1 cup at a time til the mixture is quite moist. (It will seem like too much water)
4) Use 1/4 cup scoop to form balls.
5) Heat oil in large sauté pan. When oil is very hot but not smoking, fry meatballs in batches. When bottom of MB is very brown, turn and cook top half. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6) Place Meatballs into the sauce of choice and cook for about 30 minutes.

These meatballs are really good. I make about 125 each year for CampCamp and the kids go through them quickly.
