Southern Italian Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lbs ground beef
    1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
    1 lb ground veal
    12 garlic cloves, finely minced (please don't use that jar trash)
    1 bunch parsley stems, removed finely chopped
    8 slices white bread, tore into little pieces crust removed
    1 quart beef stock
    1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese or 1 cup grana padano
    1/2 cup romano cheese
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
    6 eggs, beaten well
    1 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
Preparation
    Combine ground beef, sausage, veal, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl and put aside.
    Mix the bread, beef stock, Parmesan cheese, romano cheese, pepper, sea salt, eggs, and breadcrumbs together. Combine well, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or over night.
    Roll into1-1/2 size balls and fry in 1' of olive oil until golden brown on all sides, or bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit - great either way.
    Meatballs may be added to your favorite sauce or eat them straight from the oven or pan.
