| 1. Wash your hands. | 2. Form your ground beef into a tube on a large cutting board. Cut a slice down the middle of the tube forming a pocket along it's length. | 3. Remove the Italian Sausage (optional) from casing and place it into the pocket, then sprinkle all other ingredients over it (except the Spaghetti Sauce). | 4. Knead your ground beef tube with your hands until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly. | 5. Form your meatballs rolling them with the palms of your hands. | 6. If you are making meatloaf instead of meatballs, form your meatloaf tightly and bake it on a broiler pan (so the grease will drain through the holes) at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, pour your favorite Spaghetti Sauce over your meatloaf. When the meatloaf is done, it is ready to serve. | 7. Place your meatballs on tin foil in a large roasting pan. Roast at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. This recipe makes about 50 meatballs. You may need to use 2 roasting pans depending on your pan size. Remove from oven when done. | 8. Pour your sauce (I always use Paul Newman's Sockarooni Sauce) into a crockpot until it is about 1/2 full. Add your meatballs and cover with a bit more sauce. Freeze any extra meatballs or set them aside in your fridge for a second serving later. | 9. Set your crockpot on high. Your meatballs will be ready to serve in about 1 hour. | 10. Try to keep the crowd back once word spreads about the juicy Italian flavor. Whatver else is happening at your party, a line will always be formed in front of your meatballs. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
