  • 1 Cup Seasoned Dry Bread Crumbs

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl soak Italian Bread in water for 5 minutes. 
  • While bread is soaking combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. 
  • Squeeze as much water out of your soaked bread as you can. Add it to your meatball mixture and mix together until combined. You don't need to go too crazy mixing your meatball mixture. Once it all looks fairly evenly distributed (no clumps of dried bread crumbs and such) your good. Sometimes less mixing is better. 
  • Roll into 2 inch sized balls and place on a baking sheet. You should get about 24 meatballs depending on the size you make them.
