Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
*In place of using all ground beef, you can use ground veal and/or ground pork.

**In place of using bread crumbs, you can use two day old Italian bread. Soak the bread in warm water. When it is soft, remove the outer crust and mix the soft bread in the meat mixture. Of course, if you choose this option, eliminate the bread crumbs and 2 cups of water. Bread mixture creates a softer meatball.
