8oz chuck

Mix all..until combined but don't overmix...mixture will be moist but will not stick to your hands...that is the test!!
Form meatballs into size of your choice (I make fairly small..ping pong ball size)

I actually make my meatballs like chez suz - the only thing I add is 3 slices of white bread torn up and soaked in a couple of tablespoons of milk. It really makes them moist.
