1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
2 c bread crumbs
1/2 c romano picorino cheese
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp salt
2 tsp parsley
2 pinches of basil
4 eggs
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Using hands, combine all ingredients.
(Nowadays, some of us use a mixer with hook attachment.)
Roll into balls.
Coat a pyrex dish with olive oil.
Place meatballs.
Bake @ 350, 1 hour, covered,
turning meatballs halfway to avoid browned bottoms.
To make sure they are cooked through, slice center meatball in half.
Smaller meatballs cook quicker, larger will take longer.
