Instructions
Meatballs
- Combine beef, veal, and pork or turkey in a large bowl.
- Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt, pepper and lastly breadcrumbs.
- Slowly add the water or milk ¼ cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but hold its shape. Usually I only need ¼ cup of the water or milk.
- Make medium sized meatballs, golf ball size or larger.
- If you are stuffing them place a small mozzarella cube inside and make sure the meatball is sealed completely.
- You can freeze these meatballs right now and cook them later or preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet and in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
- If putting the meatballs in a tomato-based pasta sauce you can simmer the meatballs in the sauce for about an hour, depending on the size of the meatballs. Simmering the meatballs will give them great flavor and texture. Either way absolutely delicious.
Mashed Potatoes
- Add peeled and cubed potatoes to a large pot and cover with water at least 2 inches over.
- Boil on high for 20-25 minutes or until very fork tender (the more tender, the easier to mash).
- Strain and set back in the pot.
- Add butter and start to mash.
- Add whipping cream, salt and pepper and continue to mash to desired texture.
Gravy
- Cook gravy according to package directions and serve over mashed potatoes and meatballs.
Notes
- I recommend storing your leftovers separately to make them easier to reheat. Place the meatballs and gravy together and the mashed potatoes in another container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Form all of your meatballs into the same size so they will cook evenly in the oven. This will prevent dry or undercooked meatballs.
- Only mix the meatball ingredients until they are well combined. Overmixing or overworking the ground beef will create tough meatballs that are difficult to chew.
