Directions

  1. 1In a bowl, mix roughly 10 pounds of ground beef and 5 pounds of ground pork.
  2. 2Add 15 eggs, 1.5 pounds of Pecorino Romano, 2 shallots, a handful of parsley, and a portion of fresh white bread that has been blended.
  3. 3Add a portion of milk to the white bread mixture. This will help keep the meatballs soft.
  4. 4Add the bread mixture, 1 portion of ricotta cheese, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1 portion of minced garlic, 1 portion of powdered garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bowl.
  5. 5Mix everything by hand and form 3-ounce meatballs using an ice cream scoop.
  6. 6Place meatballs on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a mixture of 90% water and 10% olive oil to prevent burning and help them crisp on the outside.
  7. 7Bake at 650 degrees for 20 minutes.
  8. 8Simmer the cooked meatballs in freshly made tomato sauce for 20-30 minutes.
  9. 9Serve 4 meatballs with extra tomato sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
