Method

Crumble bread, add milk and egg, then blend with a fork. Combine other ingredients and blend very thoroughly. Wet hands and roll into 2 inch balls. Heat olive oil in skillet. Brown outside of meatballs very thoroughly, almost on point of burning, turning often. Transfer to a baking pan and bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Or add to sauce and cook in a crock pot for 4-6 hours on low heat. Or to use as an appetizer, place in a crock pot, cover with 1 jar of grape jelly, and cook 4-6 hours on low heat. Remove, arrange on platter and insert toothpicks, then serve.

 

Notes: After baking, these meatballs freeze well. Why not make a couple of extra batches while you're at it?
