To Make the Meatballs from Scratch:(Ingredients)

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• ⅔ cup finely minced onion
• ½ cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup vegetable shortening (for frying the meatballs)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, onion, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
2. Mix well using a spatula or your hands (wearing latex gloves is optional). Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (you should have about 48 meatballs).

To Fry the Meatballs:

1. Heat vegetable shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Fry the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. The internal temperature should read 155 degrees for at least 15 seconds. Add more shortening if the skillet looks dry.

To Bake the Meatballs:

1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. After this,Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top.
3. Arrange the meatballs on the rack and bake until browned with crispy edges, about 20 minutes. The internal temperature should read 155 degrees for at least 15 seconds.

Additional Notices:

1. Sweet chili sauce can be used instead of regular chili sauce. This flavor will be slightly different but still delicious!
