Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Mix the ground meats, ricotta, parsley, panko crumbs, onion, pecorino, bacon, garlic, milk, thyme, egg, salt, Worcestershire, and black pepper, to taste, in a large bowl See Photo. Mix until just combined; don't overmix. The mixture will be pretty soft.
  2. Using your hands, gently form mixture into 1 tablespoon small meatballs (about the size of ping pong balls). Put them on a large plate or pan; cover and refrigerate at least an hour or up to 24 hours.
  3. Brush each meatball with olive oil and place on baking sheet. Bake meatballs at 400F degrees for 15 minutes. Turn up to broil to get them golden brown on top.
  4. Serve the meatballs, skewered on a platter with a dollop of the heated sauce and a fresh leaf of basil. They can be serve warm or at room temperature.
  5. The meatballs can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days, or frozen for up to 6 weeks.
  6. Meatball wisdom:
  7. - Be gentle when you're forming meatballs-too firm a hand makes them dense and tough.
  8. - These can be frozen cooked (in sauce) or raw; freeze raw meatballs on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to resealable plastic bags. Cooked-in-sauce meatballs can go into plastic containers.
