CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Homemade meatballs are a very easy to make, and since we skip the very messy step of pan-frying these before they hit the sauce, it becomes downright simple. Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. You can substitute water or beef broth for the milk, if preferred.

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.)

Tips
- Use a combination of lean and fatty ground beef. This will help to keep the meatballs moist and flavorful.
- Soak the oatmeal in milk before adding it to the meatball mixture. This will help to soften the oatmeal and make it easier to incorporate into the mixture.
- Season the meatball mixture generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meatballs.
- Form the meatballs into small, uniform balls. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs in a pan before baking them. This will help to develop their flavor and give them a crispy exterior.
- Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the meatballs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Some popular options include tomato sauce, gravy, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion
These oatmeal meatballs are a delicious and affordable way to enjoy a classic comfort food. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual party. Serve them with your favorite sauce and sides, and you're sure to have a hit on your hands!
