Meatballs

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.

10 lb ground pork/beef/veal

8- 10 c bread crumbs with water

2 c romano picorino cheese

3 Tbsp pepper

1 1/2 Tbsp salt

6 Tbsp parsley

2 tsp basil

20 eggs

6 Tbsp garlic, crushed

Uncle Tony's recipe card is simply a list of ingredients and amounts.

And a note to buy the meat at Price Chopper.

He originally had 10 cups bread crumbs, then scribbled it out and wrote 8.
