Block 41

3rd generation recipe.

Dad got this
from a man who worked with him
on the Pennsylvania Railroad
YEARS AGO! 

Simple,
sweet
and to the point.

Meat Balls

2 lbs Ground Meat 

(1lb pork/1 lb beef)

5-7 slices Dry Vienna bread, grated

5 Eggs

1 Bead Garlic, minced

3 T Grated Cheese
(Parmesan/Romano)

1 tsp Black Pepper

1 T Salt

2 T Dry Parsley

Mix,
make into balls,
(golf ball sized)
fry in skillet (iron)
in 
1 T Shortening.

 Broth
2 Medium Onions, sliced


1 1/2 - 2 Quarts Tomatoes


1 Can Tomato Paste


Combine,
bring to a boil,
add meatballs 
and
cook slowly 
for 2 hours.


HOUSE RULE:
3 Meatballs with your spaghetti.

You may not take
more meatballs
until you have eaten
ALL of your
spaghetti . . .


Mom & Dad
instituted this rule
when Lee and I
wanted nothing but meatballs. 

Remember this
or the spaghetti will 
sit on the plate and dry up
while the meatballs
disappear!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for another food blessing . . . Dad's meatballs. One of the few recipes I like to make AND eat.  Honestly, you know I prefer my spaghetti raw, (h(How many college freshmen take a box of spaghetti to college with them as a snack?) but I will eat it with this to be social :0}

Amen
