Ingredients

I've been trying to perfect my mom's meatball recipe as I remember it, and add a few tweaks to make them spicy!

Here are the ingredients I use

1 lb. Ground Veal
2 lb. Ground Beef 80/20
2 Eggs
2 slices of bread soaked in a little milk
Breadcrumb not sure of measurement, just enough to make the mixture hold together
2 cloves of garlic - chopped
1 squeeze of garlic paste
1 squeeze of parsley paste
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
2 tbsp. crumbled goat cheese
2 tbsp. Grill Mates Spicy Montreal Steak seasoning
1/4 cup Stubb's Spicy Bar-B-Q Sauce
Grill Master Steak Rub used to coat the meatballs before frying
1/4 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

Combine: Veal, Beef, Eggs, garlics, parsley, goat cheese, Romano cheese and Spicy Montreal Steak seasoning in a bowl. Put the two slices of bread in a bowl with enough milk to get them soggy - squeeze out the excess milk and break up the wet bread slices into the meat combo.
Put enough bread crumb to cover the meat mixture to start, you can add more later when you start mixing it together.
If the mixture is too loose, go ahead and add a little more breadcrumb - but don't put too much... a little at a time, until the mixture feels right.
Use a scoop or a tablespoon to make equal portions and roll them into balls - put them aside for the next step!
Put some of the Steak Rub on a plate, and right before putting the meatballs into the frying pan, roll them in the Steak Rub to completely coat them.
Fry them up, so they get a nice crust all around.
Put the fried meatballs into sauce - your choice... I used 1 jar of Tuttorusso Traditional with 1 can of crushed tomatoes... let cook for at least 1/2 to 1 hour.
