Mama Iuliucci'S Famous Meat-A-Balls (Italian Meatballs) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lbs lean ground beef
    8 -10 slices white bread, broken into small 1/2 inch pieces (or you can use rolls or any stale bread you have and want to use up)
    2 eggs, slightly beaten
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
    1 teaspoon italian seasoning (or to taste)
    2 teaspoons parsley flakes (or to taste)
    1/4 - 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or Locatelli)
    1 -2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    olive oil (for frying) or vegetable oil (for frying)
Preparation
    Mix all ingredients gently in a large bowl until well combined.
    Roll meatballs 1 1/2- 1 3/4\" in diameter.
    Heat about 1/4\" of oil over medium heat in a large frying pan.
    Fry meatballs in oil, rolling frequently, until evenly browned and juices run clear.
    Drop meatballs in your favorite sauce (I highly recommend My Mama Iuliucci's\"Don't Skip a Step\" Spaghetti Sauce recipe#26947) and let simmer for awhile to flavor sauce or just serve with your favorite pasta and sauce.
    Tip: You can also bake or broil these if the frying part is too much of a hassle-- I use my broiler pan if I bake them, so the fat drips down and away from the meatballs.
