Spaghetti and Meatballs

I am a huge fan of all things Italian and spaghetti and meatballs is my go to dish.  This is the recipe that my parents have used my whole life; I am pretty sure it has been in our family for years.  I don't think I have ever ordered meatballs at a restaurant because this recipe is just so delicious.

These meatballs are simple to make and the recipe is huge so it will feed you for awhile. I have never eaten a better meatball anywhere, and that includes vacations in Italy.  So you should go make them right now. I really mean it. They are fantastic.

Freshly browned meatballs.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. ground chuck
• 1 1/2 c. breadcrumbs (I use the Italian seasoned kind)
• 1/2 c. chopped parsley (dried is fine)
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 c. water
• 1 c. Parmesan cheese

1. Combine all ingredients. Roll into balls.
2. Add a few Tbsp. of olive oil to a pan and cook meatballs until brown and cooked most of the way through.
3. Place meatballs on paper towel to remove excess oil.
4. Add meatballs to a pot of tomato sauce.  Heat for a few minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and sauce is hot.
5. Serve with spaghetti and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy.

Serves at least 8.

So good.
