Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove sausage from casing and mix together with ground beef.

  2. 2

    Add in all of your spices. You can add your own spices. The ones listed are my usual. Mix the meat and spices together.

  3. 3

    Add the turkey bacon and mix the entire meat together. Make sure all the meats are blended and evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Wet the crusted slices of bread and squeeze the water out of them. Put the bread in a plastic bag or in a durable bowl and flatten/mush it up until it gets pasty. Mix it in with your meat, making sure it is evenly distributed. Let the meat and your hands rest for 10-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Form your meat balls and preheat your oil.

  6. 6

    Fry your meatballs until they are fully cooked. You can also boil/steam them. Frying works best.

  7. 7

    Heat up your sauce. When it starts to bubble, place your meatballs in it. Let them soak and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

  8. 8

    Enjoy! Especially with a plate of pasta!
