INGREDIENTS: 
1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef (a mixture of 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork will work well also) 
1 large egg, slightly beaten 
1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese 
1⁄3 cup breadcrumbs (or use enough to hold the meat together (no dry breadcrumbs? just soak 3 slices of bread in the 1/3 ) 
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste) 
1 -2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use 2 teaspoons seasoned salt) 
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 
1⁄3 cup milk (can use up to 1/2 cup milk) 
1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, or to taste) 
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tablespoons dried parsley) 
 
DIRECTIONS: 
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. 
Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using). 
Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs. 
Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs). 
After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired. 
**note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.</div>

SERVINGS 4 
 
INGREDIENTS: 
1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef (ground shoulder roast is good) 
1 slice bread (broken or chopped finely) 
1 egg 
1 small vidalia onions or 1 small type sweet onion, finely chopped 
1 teaspoon table salt 
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper 
4 tablespoons ketchup 
1⁄2-2⁄3 cup whole milk or 1⁄2-2⁄3 cup half-and-half 
 
Sauce: 
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 
2 -4 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed firm (to taste) 
1⁄2 cup ketchup 
 
DIRECTIONS: 
Meatloaf: Combine meat loaf ingredients and place into a loaf baking dish. 
Smooth out top. 
Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and pour on top and sides of meatloaf. 
Bake at 350°F about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done. 
ENJOY! 
*The addition of 1 or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet® makes this recipe very good. 
**Recipe should be"plump" from the addition of the milk or Half & Half. 
It should NOT be runny. 
***A second batch of sauce served hot is good to serve with the meatloaf. 
Nita's Note: I note that some of you are using game meat such as deer -- Deer is a very DRY meat. It is wise to HAVE some fat added to the deer -- especially to ground deer. Maybe 25 % fat, ( I recommend 1 lb of ground venison, and 1/2 lb of deer sausage for fat content), otherwise your results will be poor. I don't know about some of the other game meat some are using. Please consult and expert. The recipe is delicious as it stands! Enjoy!</div>
