Big John's Meatballs

Big John’s (Meat) Balls
Bread crumbs ground (French) 1 ½ quarts 3 quarts
Beef stock 1 quart 2 quarts
Ground pork 7 ½ pounds 15 pounds
Beef ground lean 7 ½ pounds 15 pounds
Onions finely chopped 1 ¾ pounds 3 ½ pounds
Eggs 15 30
Salt ¼ cup ½ cup
Black pepper 2 ¼ teaspoon 1 ½ tablespoon
Basil 1 ½ teaspoon 1 tablespoon
Parmesan cheese grated 1 cup 2 cups
Parsley fresh chopped ½ cup 1 cup
Combine bread crumbs and stock. Let stand until all moisture is absorbed. This binds everything together.
Put in a food processor parsley, parmesan cheese, basil and onions. I puree these ingredients together.
In a large mixing bowl mix the bread mixture, onion mixture and all other ingredients together until well mixed.
Shape into 3 ounce balls using a #20 scoop and arrange on a sheet pan (sided cookie sheet).
Bake in a 350 degree oven until brown for approximately 10 minutes.
Drain off fat and put in air tight bags. These balls freeze well.
Serve hot in a pasta sauce, brown sauce, or white cream sauce.
