Step 1

Take the two slices of bread and soak them in milk for a few minutes. Sometimes all it really takes is for the bread to be soaked through, so the timing is truly optional here.

Step 2

Add the eggs, onion, spices and the soaked bread to the ground beef and mix well.

Step 3

Form palm size meatballs from the beef.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep skillet and place the meatballs in it. Cook for a couple of minutes until they are browned on each side and then take them out and set aside until you put another batch in.

Step 5

When all the meatballs are browned, place them back in the skillet, pour a half a cup of water or broth, cover with a lid and let them simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Step 6

Once the meatballs are almost cooked, pour a jar of pasta sauce over them and let them sit for a few minutes.

Step 7

Serve with mashed potatoes and salad on the side.

Step 8
