A homemade meatball recipe perfect for subs, featuring ground chuck, ground pork, and a blend of spices mixed with breadcrumbs and Pecorino Romano cheese, baked or cooked in a simmering sauce for maximum flavor.
1: Soak the freshly grated breadcrumbs in the milk for about 20 minutes and squeeze out excess milk.
2: In a large bowl, add ground chuck, ground pork, eggs, Pecorino Romano, milk-soaked breadcrumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
3: Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4: Remove from the refrigerator and mix the meatball mixture again lightly with your hands.
5: Scoop out a ball of meat mixture using an ice cream or cookie scoop, forming 1½-inch meatballs.
6: Bake the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or broil for a crispier texture.
7: Alternatively, let them cook in the sauce for 40-60 minutes on simmer or cook in a skillet with heated oil and sliced onion.
