Noni’s Meatballs Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 10 lbs ground beef
- 5 lbs ground pork
- 6 cups of cubed bread (sliced white bread)
- 2 bunches chopped parsley
- 3 beaten eggs
- 1⁄2 cup salt
- 3 T pureed garlic
- 2-3 cups whole milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix beef and pork in deep hotel pan and set aside.
3. In silver mixing bowl put cubed bread, parsley, garlic, and beaten eggs.
4. Add 2 cups milk to the bread mixture. You will want a wet mixture. Use hands to mix milk and bread mixture. Add more milk if needed until mixture is wet but not soupy.
5. Combine bread and milk mixture with meat in hotel pan. Mix well for 2 minutes. Make sure not to over mix.
6. Shape into balls the size of jawbreakers (about 1 inch across) and crowd onto sheet tray so that meatballs touch one-another. This allows the meatballs to steam together and become moist.
7. Bake at 350 degrees in convection until dark brown.
