Meatballs:

Oh my gosh. These were the BEST meatballs ever! I found this on my friend Melanie's site. I will never EVER eat another store bought meatball again. They just wouldn't compare. I think Mitch ate about 10 meatballs the night I made them, and I will admit, I ate a whole sandwhich myself. *full body shiver*..Pure awesomeness. There just aren't enough words. I did cut down the amount of pepper for my family's taste to half, but I will post it with the full on and you can decide for yourself.



MEATBALLS:

1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup fresh parsley
3 eggs beaten separate then added
2 T dried oregano
1 T minced garlic
1 T salt
1 T ground black pepper
2 t dried basil
1 t red pepper flakes
2 pounds ground beef

Mix all ingredients first, then add meat and mix well. Form golf ball-sized meatballs. Pour a little beef broth over each one. Don't be stingy with the beef broth! Bake 450 for 20 -25 minutes. With the whole recipe, I can usually get about 25-30 meatballs.

Sauce:
2 can crushed tomatoes
Sprinkle basil, oregano, red pepper, garlic (whatever you prefer)
Add cooked meatballs, let sauce warm up.

Buns: Put a slice of mozzarella on a hoagie bun and bake it at 400 for 5-6 minutes until the cheese and bun are nicely toasted.
