And for realz, they make the best leftover meatball subs. Heat up the meatballs you're going to use, then get a nice sub bun, open it up, put down some provolone on each side of the bread, put down some meatballs, put s'more provolone on top, bake it at 350 until the cheese is all gooey and starting to brown...

Putting the provolone down on the bread is very important - otherwise, the bread will get soggy instead of crispy.

We have a friend of the family that swears up and down that they got him laid. He used to ask my mom to make him 100 of them at a time to take home.

best part is my wife (who is 100% Italian by like multiple generations) doesn't like meatballs, meatsauce, sugu etc.

Muuuwwwahahhahaha. all mine.

I never have leftover spaghetti when we make it. I have subs. The wife finishes the pasta, and I'll eat subs for three days.

I was wondering why that hot ass cuban chick banged me after I took her to my house for sunday pasta.

[Dayze]

slip her a meatball in her drink, instead of a roofie..

Whenever we have a big family dinner we have to make sure nobody mentions it on facebook or about 200 people would come over, they're fricking awesome. My sisters friend almost drove from vegas just to have them.

[Dayze]

your friends are strung out on the meatballs.
gateway food.

my father-in-law, who is not Italian (or a peckerwood as her grand dad would call him), didn't get my wife's grandmothers sauce recipe until after being married to her mom for 15 years.

it's amazing. I went up for seconds just for sauce. He won't give it to me either. says he needs to make sure I'm in his 'circle of trust" lol. worried it'll get out. I'm almost there I think lol. he and I are the foodies of the family. we'll do all the cooking etc at get togethers. sometimes if I find a killer recipe, I'll try to barter it into getting the sauce recipe. I have a killer stuffed jalepeno recipe he just loves and wants it. I offered a trade, but no dice lol. I'll get it someday though.

Everyone whos not Italian is considered a peckerwood, lol.

Our sauce recipe goes back to my Great Great Grandmother, its probably a 90 year old recipe.

[Dayze]

yeah. her family grew up in the north end of KC.
hell, we were at Cascones last weekend with my parents, and this super old guy who has worked there for 40 years, named Vito, started shooting the shit with us. I told him how my wife is italian etc, and I gave him her maiden name, and he started listing off all her aunts, great aunts, uncles etc, and how they all relate to each other. shit, I've been with her for 12 years, and I'm just now starting to put everything together lol.

it was a trip hearing this dude talk about her family, like he was in it.

I get it about the milk. But dont see an advantage of wasting the money/effort on breadcrumbs instead of bread.

This website disagrees about using breadcrumbs:
"We make our meatball-bound panade with bread soaked in cream and eggs. This process can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours, but don’t be tempted to use shortcuts. Meatball-filler substitutes like the all-too-common breadcrumbs will cause serious textural issues. “Ditch the can of breadcrumbs,” says Leigh. “Breadcrumbs are dry, so they absorb all the fat and juice and leave the meatball dry and hard.”
