How do you make meatballs?!


Question: Linda's Quick and Easy Meatballs

1 lb. ground beef
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
olive oil
1 large can tomato sauce or 1 jar favorite spaghetti sauce

Mix together beef, bread crumbs, egg, and salt. Form 1 1/2" balls; make as round as possible and place on waxed paper until all the meat mixture is used. Put the tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan and put on the burner over low heat.
Heat about 1/4" olive oil in a frying pan until the oil "ripples". Add enough meatballs to fill the pan without crowding it--there should be at least 1/2" between meatballs. Turn them as they brown and when most sides are medium brown put them into the sauce in the saucepan. Continue to cook all the meatballs this way until they are all in the sauce. Turn the heat up until the meatballs almost boil then keep at simmer. Cook for at least 15 minutes.
If you're serving them with pasta you can go ahead and start to heat the water then cook the pasta according to package directions. Serve with grated parmesan cheese.

Maria's Italian Meatballs
INGREDIENTS:

* 1 lb lean ground beef
* 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
* 1/3 cup water (more or less)
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 medium onion
* garlic
* salt
* pepper

PREPARATION:
Mix all ingredients together. Don't add all of the water at one time. Mixture should be moist but not so that the meatballs fall apart.

Shape meatballs to desired size and place on a broiler pan (I wet my hands before shaping each meatball and it helps make a nice meatball.) Broil until outside is slightly brown on one side and then turn and broil the other side.
When finished, add to spaghetti sauce and simmer at least 20 minutes.

I really wanted to answer this question with:

"First, you scout your neighborhood for cats......"

but thats just wrong.

So I won't do that.

Well That depends which kind you want.. But I suppose I'll go with the usual favorite ,Italian.

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground veal
1/2 pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 cup olive oil

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.


Now if you want to give lots of moisture to the meatballs, you can add 1 more egg per pound, and mix and match with seasonings depending on what you like.

What is "lilgothf" thinking, when she wrote this? It sounded like a good recipe for meatballs before it turned in cup cakes?
