My Meatballs

I want to thank Rebecca and Wanda for offering me their meatball recipes on my last post. They both looked so yummy! I really want to try both recipes, but this time I used Wanda's recipe. Rebecca's recipe called for a dutch oven, and I had no idea what that is! Thankfully, she explained it to me, so next time I am trying her recipe.

Here is Wanda's recipe:

1- pound ground beef (1/2 pork and 1/2 beef)
1- cup of Italian Bread Crumbs
3/4 Cup of Grated Italian Cheese
1- Clove garlic cut up small
2- eggs beaten
salt and pepper to your taste

Mix all together, add about three tablespoons of water to mixture to make it soft. Mix well. Form into small balls and fry in olive oil until nice and brown. About ten or fifteen minutes on each side.

I did change just a few minor things. I only had beef, so that's all I used. I added parsley and oregano, because I had regular, not Italian, breadcrumbs. I had thee pounds of meat, so I tripled the recipe, and ended up adding a cup of milk, instead of the water. I also baked the meatballs, instead of frying them. Here is what it looked like before we mixed it all together:
Here's my helper, who was not at all happy that she had to get her hands dirty.

Here's the finished product! They look yummy, don't they?

I can honestly say they tasted as yummy as they look! Thanks again Wanda for this delicious recipe!
