Dee's Favorite Meatballs
Serves 6-8

2 1/2 to 3 pounds meatloaf mix (beef, pork, veal)
1/2 cup plain panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Powder
Parsley-chopped (preferably fresh)
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Olive Oil
Kimmy's Red Sauce (or your favorite family recipe)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil the bottom of a 9x13 dish or cookie sheet with sides. Combine panko, Italian bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and parsley in a bowl. Mix with hands in large bowl: ground meat, bread crumb mixture, beaten eggs, a few dashes of garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley. (You do not need to add extra salt because the Parmesan and breading already have lots.) Roll the combined mixture into 2 1/2" diameter meatballs. Place onto oiled pan and roll around so it is coated. Repeat until all of the meat is used. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked medium, rotating once. (Pink in center). Finish meatballs in pot of hot sauce on the stove for an hour so the meat flavor is absorbed into the sauce. Serve over pasta or on crusty Italian rolls.
