Italian Meatballs

This is an easy weeknight meal. Serve with a green salad tossed with Italian dressing, or just a vinegar and oil dressing. Impress yourself and your family with your Italian food. Simple is often the best recipe....and wear a bib! It's no fun if it doesn't dribble....



Italian Meatballs

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

Mix all ingredients together, shape into golf ball sized meatballs, and place on foil lined

cookie sheet.

Heat oven to 400°. Bake meatballs for 25 minutes. At 10 minutes, open your oven and

shake the sheet pan to redistribute meatballs. Do again at 20 minutes into the cooking
