Grandma Dina’s Meatball Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4.4 lbs ground beef or any other kind of meat preferred

• 0.45 lbs bread crumbs

• 2 eggs

• 1 medium size onion cut finely in a blender

• ½ teaspoon dry mint

• Salt – Pepper

• ½ teaspoon of red wine vinegar

• ½ teaspoon of baking soda (dissolve it in a bit of water)

• You will need some flour for covering the meatballs before frying

 

Directions:

1. Mix all the above

2. Let the mix sit for about 30 min so all the flavors combine

3. Form the meatballs, pass them through the flour, and fry them

 

This will make a large quantity, but they do freeze nicely.

These meatballs can be eaten plain or you can add tomato sauce in a pan a cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes. Just add some salt and pepper to the tomato sauce while you cook.

As a side dish you can make pasta, rice, baked potatoes, baked fries, and/or some steamed vegetables.

Preparation time for the mixture is approx. 20 minutes.
