The Ultimate Meatball instructions

1. Remove sausage from casing and mix together with ground beef..
2. Add in all of your spices. You can add your own spices. The ones listed are my usual. Mix the meat and spices together..
3. Add the turkey bacon and mix the entire meat together. Make sure all the meats are blended and evenly distributed..
4. Wet the crusted slices of bread and squeeze the water out of them. Put the bread in a plastic bag or in a durable bowl and flatten/mush it up until it gets pasty. Mix it in with your meat, making sure it is evenly distributed. Let the meat and your hands rest for 10-20 minutes..
5. Form your meat balls and preheat your oil..
6. Fry your meatballs until they are fully cooked. You can also boil/steam them. Frying works best..
7. Heat up your sauce. When it starts to bubble, place your meatballs in it. Let them soak and simmer for about 10-15 minutes..
8. Enjoy! Especially with a plate of pasta!.

For me this requires researching a multitude of recipes, and much like a mad. Think Swedish meatballs meets a casserole and that's what we've got going on here today. This is the kind of comfort food dish that you make on the weekend. Frozen precooked meatballs work great in this dish. Just mix together a jar of Heinz Chili Sauce and a can of Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce and heat until smooth.
