Rusty's Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (or mix with ground sausage)
• Bread crumbs, homemade is best but from a store is OK (sorry I don't measure but it's around a cup)
• 1 egg
• A splash or two of milk to just moisten
• Spices (basil and Italian seasoning, mostly, but feel free to add oregano or whatever you like)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, smashed

Instructions

1. Make meatballs by mixing beef, bread crumbs, egg, milk and spices. Roll into balls to just fit the palm of your hand (guys a little smaller).
2. Brown on all sides in olive oil, a clove or 2 of smashed garlic and chopped onion.
3. After all are browned, remove meatballs to a platter.
4. Make your favorite sauce in the same pot.
5. Add meatballs. Cook for about 4 hours.
