Basic Italian Meatballs

2 slices bread (regular white bread, soft.) Slice it into small bites
1/4 cup milk
1 lb of 75-80% lean ground beef
1/2 of an onion, diced
1 egg
1 TBSP garlic, diced
1 TBSP Italian seasoning

Mix the beef with the bread, milk, egg, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Blend with your hands. But don't blend too much, it makes the meatballs tough. Taking about 2 TSBP of beef mixture for each, form into balls with your hands. If you put water on your hands, that will make forming the balls easier and they won't stick to your hands so much.

Place on baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until heated through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.

I cook spaghetti and use a jarred spaghetti sauce if I'm crunched for time, or you can make this homemade spaghetti sauce.
