Best Homemade Meatballs

Easy and delicious...and of course SIMPLE. I really hate it when "chefs" try to outdo the meatball. You know what I mean? A meatbll needs to stay true to itself : Meat and ball....and nothing fancy. I have found one that I use once a week at my house. I have tried them all!  The pork and beef ones, the ones that you soak the bread in buttermilk, the sage and thyme and rosemary etc....NO MORE. STAY SIMPLE. My daughter, who is seven is the the most pickiest person on this planet...SHE EATS THESE!!! So please, please use this recipe,  promise you will never look at another meatball recipe again.

The indgredients :

1 pound of ground beef

2 slices of bread

2 cloves of garlic
fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons of milk

1 egg
salt & pepper
