Meatballs - for approximately 8 large dinners

Ingredients

• ½ loaf of Italian bread cut into 1 inch cubes and left out overnight uncovered
• ½ cup hot milk
• 1 cup oatmeal ground to powder in a food processor
• 4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese*
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 4 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• salt to taste
• 3 pounds of ground beef
• 2 pound of ground pork

Mix all the dry ingredients and then sprinkle over the meat.  Gently fold everything together until it looks uniform. Don’t overmix or the meatballs will take on a weird texture. Pat out the mixture onto a clean cutting board and press into a ½ inch thick squareish patty.

Gently score the meat in ½ inch lines in both directions creating little ½ inch squares.

Roll each square into balls and place onto a cookie sheet and pop them into the freezer.

when they are frozen pop them in bags - some bigger bags for dinners that you’ll use more and some in small bags.

*Avoid the urge to reach for the green jar of Parmesan cheese stuff. Use a really good Parmesan cheese. You will be pleasantly satisfied.
