Mama Iuliucci's Famous Meat-a-Balls

Description
These are best served with a Spaghetti Sauce,I have used jazzed up jarred sauce and they are still great. However...meat-a-balls like these deserve a homemade sauce, in my opinion!



Ingredients

 * 2 	 lbs   lean ground beef
 * 8-10 	slices white bread, broken into small 1/2 inch pieces (or you can use rolls or any stale bread you have and want to use up)
 * 2 	eggs, slightly beaten
 * 1/2 	teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
 * 1 	teaspoon italian seasoning (or to taste)
 * 2 	teaspoons parsley flakes (or to taste)
 * 1/4-1/2 	cup grated parmesan cheese (or Locatelli)
 * 1-2 	teaspoon salt
 * 1/4-1/2 	teaspoon black pepper
 * olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

 * Mix all ingredients gently in a large bowl until well combined.
 * Roll meatballs 1 1/2- 1 3/4" in diameter.
 * Heat about 1/4" of oil over medium heat in a large frying pan.
 * Fry meatballs in oil, rolling frequently, until evenly browned and juices run clear.
 * Drop meatballs in your favorite sauce (I highly recommend My Mama Iuliucci's"Don't Skip a Step" Spaghetti Sauce recipe#26947) and let simmer for awhile to flavor sauce or just serve with your favorite pasta and sauce.
 * Tip: You can also bake or broil these if the frying part is too much of a hassle-- I use my broiler pan if I bake them, so the fat drips down and away from the meatballs.
