Gramma Cabaj's Meatballs

This is what home tastes like to me. Every time I come home to Sheboygan, we have one of two things...steak or spaghetti. And with Grandma Cabaj's meatball recipe, I wouldn't have it any other way.  They are simple to make, use ingredients you always have on hand, and are de-licious to eat. 

So here's a short and simple post for meatballs that are 10 times as yummy as the ones you buy in a bag in the freezer section. Don't be a lazy putz...



Ingredients:
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1/2 c. Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/4.c water (less/more depending)
  • 1 egg
  • Dash red pepper flakes
  • Dash garlic powder
  • Dash Italian seasoning 

Directions:
  1. Mix above ingredients in bowl with hands.
  2. Roll into 1" to 1-1/2" balls and place in skillet. Brown on medium-high heat - no need to cook through. 
  3. Place into pot with spaghetti sauce and simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. *Note: Sometimes I put meatballs in crockpot on low for 5+ hours, turning to high for the last hour.
