BTW, out here in Washington State, we have a few great pizza places now (not so back in the day), one such is, ....tah-dah---- BROOKLYN BROTHERS PIZZA. It's far to go when the traffic is bad (when is it not?) but my taste buds love it.... we used to have another pizza place called NY No.1, but the man retired and made me sad. He brought everything including the ovens and the tables and booths.... those were the days....
Hey I'm watching my triglycerides, what do you think of ground turkey and fresh pork ? Do you think it taste ok ? Yeah, under orders to lay off the red meat...🤷♀️🌻🌷
Was looking for a genuine italian meatballs recipe for some time and I stumbled on this. Here's my story: did everything right until I tasted one of those fried meatballs to see how they are... none of them made it to the sandwich I ate them all 😂😂😂😂😂 had to start all over again can't complain thou!
You should try carbonated water instead of plain water. They use it in making Sevapi which is a Bosnian meat that looks like a breakfast sausage. The carbonated water makes the meat very juicy.
I make my meatballs the same way, only add some milk to the mixture. The milk makes the meatballs tender and soft inside. I learned that from my Italian mother-in-law. Also, instead of using breadcrumbs soften some steal Italians bread in water. Squeeze out most of the water and add the bread to the meatball mixture. This is another way in making meatballs without using breadcrumbs. I learned this from my Italian mom, the meatballs are tender and soft inside after they are fried. Both ways using milk or wet bread are old school Italian ways of making meatballs...We are all from Brooklyn too. My Italian family has a long history of living in Brooklyn, since the mid 1900's...P.S. I can smell your meatballs frying, it's like perfume in the air! delish!
My Italian grandmother never put dry breadcrumbs in her meatballs..said it drew the moisture from the meat...always soaked sliced Italian bread in milk maybe 6 or 7 slices than added the soaked bread to mixture...but everything else the same as yours...looks delicious
Thanks! We are used to making a batch of meatballs for a restaurant. It’s very difficult to use soaked bread for a large amount. Oh, grandmother and mother used soft bread.
We use almost this same recipe. After frying we throw the meatballs in the crock pot to cook for at least 6 hours in the sauce. Comes out delicious and moist every tim
Same. My mother always used stale bread soaked in water or milk and then sqeezed out. You can also add tomato sauce if you have it simmering on the stove already 😊.
This is how we make our meatballs, veal, pork and beef from my great grandmother’s recipe. We drop them raw directly into the gravy, but I LOVE your recipe for the sandwiches. Now if I could only find some good bread to complete the feast.
That is exactly how I do it . I do use the same bread crumbs but I use FAR LESS crumbs ,I also add some water to the meat mixture . I learned that from a GREAT NEW YORK Restaurant and MARTHA STEWART. I also will sometimes use just SIRLOIN meat
I felt like I was watching myself make meatballs ! EXACTLY how my mom made meatballs when I was growing up and I make them the same way !The only difference is my mom used rice instead of bread crumbs. We have a Sicillian heritage, so that's what was handed down from generation to generation to generation. The recipe is EXACT including cooking in olive oil ! Bravo my man ! From one Italian to another you did a GREAT JOB ! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Ti Saluto !
Do you put pignoli and raisins in your meatballs? I'm also Sicilian, I absolutely hate it LOL. I don't mind the pignoli so much. The raisins make it much too sweet. It is also put in brasccioll.
Amazing, my grandmothers recipe that she taught me is almost EXACTLY the same except we use milk instead of water. Beautiful! The only better sound than meatballs frying in a pan are chicken cutlets or sauseeeege! French baguettes? Where’s the seeded semolina bread? 🤣🤣🤣😁👍👍
My recipe is similar. I grind my own beef from the chuck and pork from the loin. I use 2/3 beef and 1/3 pork. Fresh ground multi-colored pepper, half as much cheese and garlic plus a pinch of ground cloves. In the summer I throw in some fresh basil. If I'm putting them in the sauce, I bake them, if in a sandwich I fry them. I enjoyed the video. Good job!
My mother always used white bread soaked in milk, u have to fry to get that great smell, l am italian, she would say don't burn them cathy, but that's how l learned , they taste great right out of the pan.
I've made many meatballs over the years, but your recipe is my new favorite. I never fry or bake them, preferring the velvety texture from dropping them in the sauce to cook through. So delicious. The only thing I did differently was add a pound of italian sausage and fennel seeds into the mix. My family devours these every time! Thank you for sharing!
I know this video is a couple of years old but I made these for dinner today and OMG what a great recipe. Very tender meatballs. I usually bake meatballs but I did it your way in the frying pan and the meatballs held together in the sauce and reminded me of getting a great meatball hero in NY, which I have yet to find in Florida. Now I make my own!
I’ve never had a problem baking them. Maybe there wasn’t enough binding agents in the mix? Anyways, as long as you were able to enjoy them. That’s really the only thing that matters.
I spent my lifetime to make a meat ball just the way I liked it. It was pretty much this. I wish I saw this 50 years ago. Bravo. Frying is such a pain but I think it comes out best.
Stuck in the poconos this brought me back to childhood in Staten Island, I’m one lonely Italian up here . Can’t get decent bread , scungili, or even gabagul. Thank you for the vid
Hi. I cut the recipe in half, made and fried 18 bite sized meatballs. The meat balls are delicious!!! I'm making meatball sandwiches (like you did) tomarrow for lunch. Many thanks to your beautiful Mom and Grandma!!!
Still a newbie catching up on old videos and it's always good to see a shout out to Daddy Jack! I miss that guy and his videos so much. You guys have become my favorite Italian cooking go-to video channel.
I’ve tried a bunch of meatball recipes, never found one that I really liked, well, until this one. Absolutely delicious! I, like you, usually don’t measure, so I guess I used this recipe as more of a suggestion, 100% not disappointed. Thank you! This one works for me. I froze the ones I didn’t use for subs, I’ll use some for pasta and the rest for meatball sliders for Christmas appetizers (our Christmas dinner). Again, thank you!
@@jameswitt7684 I tip my hat you good sir. Very wise indeed. I myself usually make about 6 pounds at a time myself but my posse does a good job eating them as fast as I make them, lol.
I was just going to write that Dominic reminded me of Daddy Jack when he gave a shout out. Sadly, Daddy Jack isnt with us any longer but he left a legacy. Happy I found this recipe and going to make them pronto.
Mmmmm they look amazing. I had an Italian deli in south Florida for 11 years. We made 1000’s of meatballs for our hoagies and pasta dishes . We baked ours because of the length of time it takes to fry. We used “Italian bread” or what Floridians think is Italian bread soaked in milk , crumbled and added to our meatballs. Made them super moist. You could make a fortune coming down to soflo and make real NY Italian bread instead of this white bread Italian bread they sell here. Merry Christmas guys to you and your families . I really enjoy your videos being a Jersey Sicilian American girl!🎄🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🎄
As great as these meatballs are you two guys are the best part . These are the best balls I ever made. I fry some and bake some depending on my time. The fried are a bit better for sure. Thanks guys.
Fennel! My dad was Italian and he loved to cook his meatballs were so delicious and he put fennel in his meatballs with all the other ingredients like yours. Wish he had left me his recipes. Thank you for your recipe.
I should not watch your videos at 3:00 in the morning on an empty stomach. Everything looks so yummy that my tummy starts growling at me😋😋😋. I would be making your recipe . Meatball heroes are my favorite. P.S. Hello Uncle Junior 😁😁😁.
OMGOSH I am now so hungry for one of those sandwiches. Beautiful job cooking them. I see this video was done 2 years ago. I wish I had seen it sooner! I look forward to more videos. My parents are from Syracuse, Sicily - Carlentini. They settled in Brooklyn and then moved to the midwest. I am a Carlentini. Thank you so much!
I learn something every time I watch youse guys. I learned not to be stingy with the frying oil. Next time I make meataballs I go heavy with the oil. Thanks guys!
Chef Paul and Dom you both take it to another level. Those meatballs, I am making from your generational recipe, passed down to you guys is fabulous. I was a big fan of Daddy Jacks I miss him a lot since he passed away. A Great Chef and father , and husband he was.So sad to learn of his passing...
It reminds me when I used to go over to my grandmother's house every Sunday in maspeth New York. She was 4 ft nothing and put Jimmy Durante to shame... 😆 It sucks to get old I miss my grandparents and my family every Sunday about 15 people she cook for I don't know how she did it. Good job guys I recognize the ingredients from anywhere. 👍
Just found u guys tonight. No idea how or why... I think I was hungry and Google new it. I so miss the east!!! Born in Newark NJ in 60's. Didn't spend a whole but of time Brooklyn but the food in NY / NJ is unmatched IMHO. Favs: Umberto's, Le Mela's, Patsy's, Zig Zags, Belmont Tavern, Steves
It is so simple Right now I have bread in the oven but I am still looking st your delicious meat balls making. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💄💄💄💄💄
My goodness NEVER, NEVER in my life have I ever seen a sandwich and one of my favorite sandwich...look SOOOO GOOOD....your men of good nature....I love it.....
Totally interesting to see this recipe. I have done my meat balls almost, very close, to the same way for years. I just learned by trial and error. Another strange thing is I sometimes oven bake and sometimes fry them. Meatballs like this go with anything! Even just for snacking with a good bowl of sauce for dipping. Sorry I know you call it gravy. I am just an average dude and have always called it pasta sauce. Anyhow shout out to the brothers!
I was surprised you didn’t use milk it is a secret ingredient to making meatballs to become so tender and delicious. I was surprised when you used water for real
Your meatball recipe makes my mouth water. I was looking for an Italian recipe and yours popped up. What luck. I'll follow you guys for sure. You will be my go to channel to find out what I need to do.. I am telling all my friends for sure.. Thanks for sharing.
Very close to my 100 year old Italian grandmother’s recipe … except for the “seasoned” breadcrumbs. We’re from Naples… so we add raisins, stale Italian bread cut into small chunks & sprinkled with Extra Virgin olive oil… or unseasoned breadcrumbs and a little wine. The deep frying is also a no-no… 80% cooked in shallow oil… then fully cooked in the sauce which simmers all day… which tenderizes the meats like butter!
Don't know how I missed this meatball video. I just watched it and as usual you guys brought back memories for me. First, my grandmother didn't own a measuring cup. LoL. All hand measure like you. She had virtually the same recipe you have. Once in awhile she didn't have veal. We'd sit and watch her make them as kids and fight for the first one out of the frying pan..The frying pan? When she passed away I didn't want anything from her house but that frying pan. When she died it had been frying meatballs for at least 70 years. A well seasoned pan. I've got that frying pan and I could fry the same meatballs in a second pan at the same time and you could tell which were made in her frying pan. When I die my nieces get to fight over it...lol
I made this delicious meatball exactly as your instructions. I will never buy frozen meatballs again. Thank you guys. I'm going to be a hit on the holidays. Taste delicious
Hello from Missouri! Chef's, today my wife and I cooked up some sauce and meatballs. I have to say I'm 62 and have never had sauce and meatballs as good as these were. What amazing flavors. Thanks guy's we really do appreciate the recipes and the videos of you two working together.
I made these tonight. I like to follow recipes exactly as written to give a fair and accurate review, but unfortunately I could not find ground veal anywhere locally. I substituted with ground lamb. So, I did make that one change. This is a great recipe. The proportions and flavor were excellent.
The 3 meat combo is what makes the wonderful taste to these, very similar to my Grandma' Susie's recipe as passed down to me via my Irish mother, who learned to make Italian Gravy for my Dad. I would change just a bit, to match my Grandma's technique.... 3 less eggs, maybe just one egg per pound of meat; no cheese at all. Add both fresh and dried garlic spice, as they have different flavors, both I love. My mother never used fresh and we loved it. So, I use both. Add cheese when serving, as desired. Add fennel seeds and red pepper for sausage flavor.

That’s hilarious! This is why our grandmother and mom used to throw us out of the kitchen. 🥄
This is Chefboy R Dee 💩
Italians don't cook like that.
That's some newyacker or nu yoicy crap.
don't say it's Italian. It's insulting 🤢
lol I love that you call them heroes! In CT, we call them Grinders! And yours, look so delish!!
Same thing happens in my house. I leave some out for snacking. Try this recipe and make burgers out of them too. So yummy!!
❤😊
Love Daddy Jacks channel. Taught me a lot of great recipes and most importantly how to cook them. RIP DJ
Yes, great channel!
I think about Jack all the time he is greatly missed
You should try carbonated water instead of plain water. They use it in making Sevapi which is a Bosnian meat that looks like a breakfast sausage. The carbonated water makes the meat very juicy.
I go back and watch them sometimes, but I've seen them all abunch of times.

That sounds fantastic!
The milk dilutes the flavor of the meat, water is better.
Nice Video Brothers, The start of something big!
Thanks, Jack (the legend)! From your mouth to God’s ears. We are having fun with it!
Well Well Well.. DJ. What are you doing here?✌🏾
RIP Daddy Jack:(
I miss Daddy Jack 😢
My Italian grandmother never put dry breadcrumbs in her meatballs..said it drew the moisture from the meat...always soaked sliced Italian bread in milk maybe 6 or 7 slices than added the soaked bread to mixture...but everything else the same as yours...looks delicious

We made this recipe last night. It was such a hit that the next day it was made early in the morning to take to a potluck in the afternoon. Thank you!
Very glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting us know!
OMG I swear I can smell the aroma of the meatballs cooking, looks so good - cheers!

OMGOSH I am now so hungry for one of those sandwiches. Beautiful job cooking them. I see this video was done 2 years ago. I wish I had seen it sooner! I look forward to more videos. My parents are from Syracuse, Sicily - Carlentini. They settled in Brooklyn and then moved to the midwest. I am a Carlentini. Thank you so much!

Chef Paul and Dom you both take it to another level. Those meatballs, I am making from your generational recipe, passed down to you guys is fabulous. I was a big fan of Daddy Jacks I miss him a lot since he passed away. A Great Chef and father , and husband he was.So sad to learn of his passing...
Yes, very sad. Jack gave us the idea for the Brooklyn Brothers
It reminds me when I used to go over to my grandmother's house every Sunday in maspeth New York. She was 4 ft nothing and put Jimmy Durante to shame... 😆 It sucks to get old I miss my grandparents and my family every Sunday about 15 people she cook for I don't know how she did it. Good job guys I recognize the ingredients from anywhere. 👍
Thanks! Yes, it sucks getting old. It is definitely a labor of love for Italian grandmas!
I watched all of the daddy jack videos. Glad I found this channel

Your meatball recipe makes my mouth water. I was looking for an Italian recipe and yours popped up. What luck. I'll follow you guys for sure. You will be my go to channel to find out what I need to do.. I am telling all my friends for sure.. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching
Priceless!! 😊
Very close to my 100 year old Italian grandmother’s recipe … except for the “seasoned” breadcrumbs. We’re from Naples… so we add raisins, stale Italian bread cut into small chunks & sprinkled with Extra Virgin olive oil… or unseasoned breadcrumbs and a little wine. The deep frying is also a no-no… 80% cooked in shallow oil… then fully cooked in the sauce which simmers all day… which tenderizes the meats like butter!
Thanks for sharing!😊
Correct. That’s the NJ way to make them
You guys look like twins.
What a great recipe. Thanks!
We are a couple of years apart. Thanks for watching!
Just found your site and am enjoying watching all your videos! Boy, can you guys cook!! And yes, I'm Italian too!
Welcome to our family! Thanks 🙏
Thanks for my smile of the day! Yum
Our pleasure!❤️
Thank you Laura
Don't know how I missed this meatball video. I just watched it and as usual you guys brought back memories for me. First, my grandmother didn't own a measuring cup. LoL. All hand measure like you. She had virtually the same recipe you have. Once in awhile she didn't have veal. We'd sit and watch her make them as kids and fight for the first one out of the frying pan..The frying pan? When she passed away I didn't want anything from her house but that frying pan. When she died it had been frying meatballs for at least 70 years. A well seasoned pan. I've got that frying pan and I could fry the same meatballs in a second pan at the same time and you could tell which were made in her frying pan. When I die my nieces get to fight over it...lol
Love it!

Hello from Missouri! Chef's, today my wife and I cooked up some sauce and meatballs. I have to say I'm 62 and have never had sauce and meatballs as good as these were. What amazing flavors. Thanks guy's we really do appreciate the recipes and the videos of you two working together.
That’s great! Glad you enjoyed them!
Thank you so much
This looks delicious! Thanks for telling me about your channel and I hope to see more from you
Thanks and welcome!
i have been making this recipe for 30 years. lol. always get compliments on my meatballs.
That is awesome!
I made these tonight. I like to follow recipes exactly as written to give a fair and accurate review, but unfortunately I could not find ground veal anywhere locally. I substituted with ground lamb. So, I did make that one change. This is a great recipe. The proportions and flavor were excellent.
Hi Stephanie-appreciate the feedback! Never made it with lamb, but need to try it. We usually go 50% pork and 50% beef when we do not have veal.
The 3 meat combo is what makes the wonderful taste to these, very similar to my Grandma' Susie's recipe as passed down to me via my Irish mother, who learned to make Italian Gravy for my Dad. I would change just a bit, to match my Grandma's technique.... 3 less eggs, maybe just one egg per pound of meat; no cheese at all. Add both fresh and dried garlic spice, as they have different flavors, both I love. My mother never used fresh and we loved it. So, I use both. Add cheese when serving, as desired. Add fennel seeds and red pepper for sausage flavor.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
Okay, great! I just happen to have some of my Noni's recipe (very much like yours) meatballs in the fridge... lunch today a meatball hero parmesan!
Sounds great! Thanks for watching! Have a great week!
