Use similar to make meatballs only simplify with ground beef, Progresso breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan Regiano cheese. And use a pressure cooker.

I have made this a number of times, however I never measure. I sometimes even add more eggs to make it richer, and a few more spices! Nevertheless, it's always good and very moist! My husband loves it!
