Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

½ pound ground veal

½ pound ground pork

1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese

2 eggs

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled

1 ½ cups lukewarm water

1 cup olive oil

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Mix in cheese, eggs, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Add bread crumbs and slowly mix in water, 1/2 cup at a time, until mixture is moist but still holds its shape (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water); shape into meatballs.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet; add meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, slightly crisp, and cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Enjoy!
