1lb Lean Ground Beef or Sirloin
3/4 lb regular Ground Pork
3/4 cup Milk
3/4 cup Breadcrumbs
1 Egg (whisked)
1 small Onion (finely shredded with a box grater)
4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1 TBS (+) of Parsley
1 tsp Salt (I always go light on salt)
1 tsp Pepper

Depending on size it'll yield 12-24 meatballs, but here's the whole enchilada.......LOL!

Tonight I'm making these for a traditional Spaghetti & Meatball dinner. As such, I do NOT fry or bake them and instead immerse them as is into the sauce for about 30 minutes on a fairly low simmer. You will have to skim off the excess fat that is rendered mostly from the ground pork, although I know many people that don't. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Every batch is different.

That recipe sounds delicious.

Beef, Pork and Milk. . . . that allows people observing Kosher laws to break two dietary laws at the same time.

Thanks John. Must try it. My wife always fries them first. Does this leave them more tender?

IMO it does make them more tender, yes. Some prefer using a little more milk and/or breadcrumbs, so take this recipe as just a starting point and develop it to your own taste. I was able to get 18 meatballs, roughly 2.0" in diameter from this batch.
