1 lb ground beef
1 cup fresh bread crumbs (take bread, dry it out or toast it, cut off crusts, put in food processor)
1/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
2 TB parsley
2 tsp kosher salt (Eric said to add a little more)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 egg
1/2 cup warm water
Put all ingredients into a large bowl. Mix with hands. Let me explain this...lightly blend the ingredients as if your fingers were a fork gently working the ingredients together. This is not like a meatloaf where you will thoroughly mix and press it together. After it is lightly mixed together form about 13-16 meatballs. These are substantial in size. Heat a saucepan with a mix of veg oil and olive oil. Cook the meatballs in batches. They will cook 5 minutes each side and will not be thoroughly cooked through. Remove meatballs to a paper towel. Discard the oil in the pan but do not clean the pan. I poured a favorite spaghetti sauce into the saucepan with a large can of seasoned tomato sauce. Place all the meatballs in the sauce and cook for another 30 minutes on low heat. Serve over pasta. This meal made Trey so happy. It is his favorite. It made me pretty happy too. Delicious.
I watched Ina Garten make this for her boss that was coming to dinner. Try it.
