Fishbreath's Authentic Italian Meatballs 1 lb ground beef 2 eggs 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp parsley 1/2 tbsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp ground black peppercorn 1/2 cup grated parmesan Put the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Pour the milk on top. Put all the other ingredients in a large bowl, then dump the milky breadcrumbs in. Smash it together with your hands. Pinch off lumps of the mixture, then roll them into meatballs between your hands. Warm up a pot of pasta sauce on the stove. (Fishbreath recommends Del Grosso if you're buying jarred sauce. Fishbreath's little Italian grandmother recommends adding a tablespoon of brown sugar and two tablespoons of water to most jarred sauces.) Drop the meatballs in and bring to a simmer. Cook for about thirty minutes for golf ball-sized meatballs.
