• 8 slices white bread, tore into little pieces crust removed
• 1 quart beef stock
• 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese or 1 cup grana padano
• 1/2 cup romano cheese
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

1. Combine ground beef, sausage, veal, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl and put aside.
2. Mix the bread, beef stock, Parmesan cheese, romano cheese, pepper, sea salt, eggs, and breadcrumbs together. Combine well, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or over night.
3. Roll into1-1/2 size balls and fry in 1' of olive oil until golden brown on all sides, or bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit - great either way.
4. Meatballs may be added to your favorite sauce or eat them straight from the oven or pan.
