ITALIAN MEATBALLS



2 lbs lean hamburg (I use ground round)

1-2 large eggs (depending if the mixture looks dry, add the 2nd egg)

about 1 cup plain dried breadcrumbs(u may substitute,Italian crumbs and go less on the spices u add)

about 1 teaspoon oregano

about 1 teaspoon basil

about 1 teaspoon parsley

1-2 teaspoons chopped fresh garlic (or, 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic powder)Use more or less, according to your tastes.

1 good size onion, diced real small

about 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

about 2 tablespoons oil

In a large bowl, combine the meat and eggs. Mix well. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Roll into balls about 1 1/2 - 2 inches. Place them on a baking sheet, that u have oiled (I cover my baking sheet with foil, for easier cleanup LOL) and cook in 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes,until cooked "throughly", turning occasionally. When done, add to your favorite sauce, and serve over pasta. A tossed salad, grated cheese and toasted garlic bread, round out this meal, nicely. Mama mia!! Delicious!!!!
These are also good with stuffed shells and in meatball subs.

NOTE: I always do my meatballs, in the oven, but, some people like to pan fry their meatballs, and some like to add the raw meatballs, to their sauce to cook. So u can cook them the way, u like best.
