Meatballs! Great with Tri-Colored Pasta and Fresh Marinara Sauce (and a bad Bill Murray Movie)

Here's a little known fact no one will care about...


The absolute best job I ever had in my life was as water sports director at a summer camp during my college years.  I always look in on any movie having to do with summer camps (except the Friday the 13th series... I mean really, who likes those things?).  Some are memorable and fun (Indian Summer) some are pointless and sad (Little Darlings)...


And one has a hideous theme song that once you hear it, it will haunt you forever.


Meatballs, the Movie.  A pleasant enough diversion, but a HIDEOUS song in the middle always pops it's ugly head up whenever I make meatballs.  Lucky for you all, I can't find the song on youTube.  But trust me... You don't want to hear it.


But you do want these meatballs...

They are simple...


50%/50% mix of 1 lb each Pork Sausage and Hamburger
1/2 cup diced Onion
1/2 cup diced Red Pepper
4 cloves smashed and minced Garlic
a couple Eggs
2 TBS "Not your Grandmother's Herbes de Provence" (or a bit of oregano, parsley, thyme... whatever spices you have on hand and like)
Bread Crumbs to coat
Canola oil to fry


Toss everything except the bread crumbs into a kitchenAid mixer with the hook attachment and mix away (or get your hands dirty and mix)


Spoon out about a rounded teaspoon amount and form into a ball.


Fry in a bit of Canola Oil.  Turn a few times to get each side a little crispy.


Serve with some pasta and your own fresh made Marinara sauce (come see my weekly guest post at OUR KRAZY KITCHEN today for a Marinara Sauce recipe... So easy and so much better than the jar!).


You are smart enough to do this without photos, but I took em, so i am going to show em...


Here's a few shots to show how easy it is...
