1 large egg, gently beaten
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemongrass, minced
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese or 2 tablespoons asiago cheese
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian spices

Preparation

In a large bowl, gently beat one egg. Then add meat and all ingredients.
Cover the bottom of a skillet with olive oil and heat using medium to medium-high heat.
With your hands, blend all ingredients together. With slightly damp hands, roll about 1 tablespoon of meat mixture into golf ball-sized balls between your hands.
Place meatballs in hot skillet and brown on all sides.
Once all sides are browned, add to homemade sauce in a slow-cooker and cook on low for about 4-5 hours.
