My Famous Meatballs

Submitted by iNEEDaCOFFEEbreak

"Found this in a local newspaper from years ago. They taste like ones my mom used to make. They are "famous" and a favorite of my husband and son. I put them in my homemade spaghetti sauce. UPDATE: After reading your comments I decided to increase the ground beef to 2#lbs [instead of 1#lb]"

We loved these meat balls. I used them for spaghetti and also for sweet and sour meatballs. Very good both ways. Thanks!

I am not sure about this recipe. When I first made it up I thought the meatballs too soft with all that milk. But the leftovers were very good. They seemed to firm up a bit. Next time I will cut the breadcrumbs to 1/2 cup and the milk to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

Lori- These were so easy to make. I used 3# of ground chuck and doubled everything else. I froze the leftover meatball mixture in a silicone loaf pan to have as a meatloaf another day. These were very moist and very tasty. I would probably add a clove or 2 more garlic because we are such garlic lovers. Thanks Again, this was very good.
