Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound sausage
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped fine
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 cup olive oil

Directions

1. Combine beef and sausage in a large bowl. Add garlic, onion, eggs, cheese, salt and pepper.
2. Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel.
