SWEET AND SMOKY MEATBALLS
My husband loves these meatballs and the sweet/smoky sauce that goes with them. We eat them over rice or on rolls. I usually make a little extra sauce to dip the meatballs in or to pour more over when they are done cooking.

THE BEST MEATBALLS
I never knew how to make good meatballs until I found this recipe. I normally make mine with just ground beef and they still taste great. I've used the combination of pork, beef and veal and they are equally good. Definitely use fresh bread crumbs and freshly grate your cheese instead of using the canned variety...it really does make a difference.

Steps:
- Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

SMOKY CHICKEN MEATBALLS
This is a Rachael Ray recipe. I changed the application of it though. She had it as chicken patties and I made it into meatballs. :) The sauce is my addition. It is optional. These have a little bite to them. You can increase or decrease the bite by adjusting the seasonings.
