I had an ex-husband that was good for 1 thing anyway... he was an owner of an Italian Restaurant... I don't measure either, so here goes the meatball recipe from his restaurant:
80% lean Ground beef
Ground pork (not seasoned)
Garlic powder
Salt / pepper
Raw eggs (2 per 4 lbs of meat mixture)
Dried oregano
Dried basil
Very finely minced onion Or Onion powder
Parsely
Parmesean cheese
Grated Asiago cheese
Fine bread crumbs
Form into apprx 1 1/2" balls and place on baking pan
Mix together well, and bake @ 350 degrees for apprx 1 , depending on the size of your batch. If you are making a tomato sauce to go along with this, believe it or not, adding some of the grease in small amounts , really ties the two together. You don't want so much that your sauce shows any standing grease, but a couple of TBS, really helps the tomato sauce.
