Ingredients:  
1 lb of 80-85% beef
1/2 lb of ground pork
1/2 lb of ground veal
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 clove of garlic, minced roughly
A small chopped onion (this will make the balls ugly, all sticking out, but so good)

Whatever milk product you have in the house (enough to submerge the bread in)
2 TBS butter, softened
Whatever milk product you have in the house (enough to submerge the bread in)

Directions:
Directions:
1. Soak the bread for a few minutes then squeeze and shred

2. Mix well, but gently (see notes on other meatballs)

3. Heat the olive oil and salt pork together in a skillet (I like my big magnalite for this) on medium. Add MB and brown on all sides.



Here is when you decide what you're going to do with them. I like to take them out, get some of the fat off of them, and then add them back to the pan. I then add some chicken broth and some red sauce and simmer them for about 20-30 minutes, throwing in basil and parm rinds at this time.
