Big Giant Meatballs

These are great to make ahead and put in the crockpot with your favorite sauce.  Excellent for entertaining.

•   4pounds ground beef
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
• 3 cups lukewarm water
• 2 cups olive oil

Directions

1. Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
2. Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold it's shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)
4. Place cooked meatballs into Marinara Sauce and cook for 15 more minutes.
