Recipe for the Best Homemade Meatballs

Here is my mom's recipe. I don't eat red meat but always make an exception for these.

Mix lightly 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 C soft bread crumbs (use 1 slice of bread)
1 T grated Parmesan cheese
1 T minced parsley
1 egg, well beaten
1 t salt
1/4 t pepper

Shape meat mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter

Heat in skillet
2 T olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced

Add meat balls and brown on all sides, turning occasionally. Pour off fat as it collects. Remove meat balls from skillet. Add meetballs to Tomato Meat Sauce (see my recipe from earlier month) about 20 minutes before sauce is done.
