Comment préparer Authentic Italian American Meatballs

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients below until thoroughly mixed.
Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is moist but not wet. (It should hold its shape when squeezed gently.)
Prepare a large batch of your favorite homemade marinara sauce and heat it thoroughly over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low. Gently form the meatball mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
Carefully add the raw meatballs to the simmering sauce. (Do this gently; the pot will be full!)
Cover the pot completely and let it simmer undisturbed for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, gently stir the meatballs, ensuring even cooking and sauce coverage. Re-cover and simmer for another 3 hours.
After 6 hours, stir gently and carefully skim off any excess grease from the surface of the sauce.
Cover and continue to simmer for a final 2 hours.
Serve these incredible meatballs over your favorite pasta, polenta, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
