| 1. Meatballs: | 2. Combine all dry ingredients. | 3. Combine meat and eggs. | 4. Add all dry ingredients to the meat mixture. | 5. Add more breadcrumbs or eggs if needed. | 6. Heat olive oil in frying pan on medium heat. | 7. Take about 1-2 tablespoons of meatball mixture and roll into balls until all are done. | 8. Put as many meatballs in the frying pan as possible. | 9. Brown on each side. (DO NOT COOK ALL THE WAY THROUGH. They will finish cooking in the sauce). | 10. Drain oil. | 11. Set meatballs aside until ready to add to sauce. | 12. Pork Chops: | 13. Heat oil in frying pan on medium heat. | 14. Add garlic gloves and cook until translucent. | 15. Add pork chops. | 16. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. | 17. Brown on both sides. (DO NOT cook all the way through, will finish cooking in the sauce). | 18. Set aside until ready to put in sauce. | 19. Gravy: | 20. Heat olive oil on low heat in large sauce pot. | 21. Add garlic & onion and cook until soft and translucent. | 22. Add cans of crushed tomatoes. | 23. Add all remaining ingredients except for the FRESH basil. | 24. Add meatballs & pork chops. | 25. Raise the heat to medium-low. | 26. Cover. | 27. Add FRESH basil half an hour before sauce is removed from the heat. | 28. Cook for 4-8 hours. (more is better!). | 29. If sauce starts bubbling, lower the heat. | 30. Keep doing taste tests to see if any more ingredients need to be added to your liking. | 31. When gravy is done, spoon out meatballs and pork chops and serve in a separate platter or large bowl. Enjoy gravy with your favorite pasta. (My selection would be Rigatoni, sprinkled with more romano cheese and a spoonful of ricotta cheese! Yummy!). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
