Best meatballs ever

Best meatballs ever

From: Susan

I don't think I've posted this before, but these are like no other meatballs I've ever had. I eyeballed the ingredient measurements when a local chef won a Bobby Flay throwdown with his famous meatballs.
Those of you who are kosher or have food allergies can just delete and skip to the next post.

1 lb ground chuck
4 oz. pecorino romano, grated
1/3 cup chopped or grated onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 garlic cloves, chopped
4 eggs (yes, you read that right)
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (I blend or food chopper 4 slices of Weight Watchers multi grain soft diet bread)
Mix well but don't over handle. I make 12 meatballs from this, but you can make any size you like.
Bake in the oven at 400-425F until outside is browned, then simmer in marinara sauce till done.

They need a little salt, but I add that at the table, not to the recipe.

Serve over spaghetti squash or golden soybean pasta, or Dreamfield's if you tolerate it.
Attempts to make this leaner or less caloric just ruin them, so I just eat less.
