Nana's Italian Meatballs

These are the meatballs that my mom used to make as we were growing up. She mainly used the bread as filler, to help feed six hungry kids and a husband.
General rule of thumb, for every pound of ground meat, you use one slice of bread, and one egg. As for the spices, use what you like, how much you like. For the meat, I like to use a combination of ground beef and pork. I have yet to try this recipe with ground turkey, chicken, etc, but the recipe should still work for those as well.
If you happen to have fresh oregano, basil, parsley, then feel free to use that. It adds an extra flavor punch! #mycookbook
Enjoy!
