Combine well (or grind together) - 2 pounds meat (can be beef, veal, pork, chicken, turkey, etc). This is my preferred ratio:

• 1 pound beef 
• 1/2 pound veal
• 1/2 pound pork 

Combine in large mixing bowl…

• ground meat
• 1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten 
• 8 sprigs fresh parsley, leaves only, chopped fine
• 1/2 cup of chives or green onions, chopped fine 
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• pinch of salt
• pinch of black pepper 
• Remove from heat and add

Make meatballs about 1 1/2 inch in size. 

Over medium heat in large skillet, combine…

• 3 tablespoons bacon grease (yes, I said bacon grease) 
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 
• 1 - 2 large white onions, diced
• 1 clove garlic, mashed, chopped fine

Add meatballs, cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes. Turning about every 10-15 minutes. 

Add marinara sauce and bring to boil. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and serve.
