Lorraine Kiefer's Mom's Real Italian Meatballs

2 slices of day-old bread
½ cup of milk
1 pound ground beef or the combination of beef, pork, or veal if you prefer
2 eggs
2 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup of parsley

Put the bread, milk, eggs and parsley in a blender and blend; add this to the meat and mix well. Shape this into meatballs; add breadcrumbs if the mixtures seems too soft (roll the meatballs in breadcrumbs). Brown in olive oil for 10 minutes or cook in the microwave; some folks simply add some of the sauce to this meat pan and allow to simmer, others drain the fat and add the meatballs to sauce.

This delicious sauce can be used over your favorite pasta, rice or any vegetable. Those on a low-carb diet can serve it on soy pasta or string beans and top with lots of extra cheese. Freezes well.
