Mom's Meatballs

These are simply the best meatballs you've ever put in your mouth. The key is not to over-mix the meat, as this tends to make the meatballs tough. Be sure you use a basic pasta sauce so that you do not disguise the flavor of the meatballs.

Preparation Time: 1 Hour Serving Size: 6

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Romano cheese, grated

1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Break ground beef up into a large bowl. Add parsley, cheese, oregano and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly BY HAND. (The less you mix, the more tender the meatballs will be.) Beat egg in a small separate bowl. Pour evenly over meat mixture and fold into meat very gently by hand, just enough to moisten the meat. Form 1½" meatballs and set on a plate. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan. Add meatballs and cook slowly for 10–15 minutes, rolling constantly, just until meatballs are set, but not browned. Do not cook through or allow to crust. Drain the meatballs and add to the sauce of your choice that you have had heating while cooking the meatballs. Cook at least 1 hour, simmering slowly.
