Step 1
1. Prepare the meatballs. Mince the garlic. In a bowl, combine ground beef, milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, Italian seasoning, grated cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients together with a fork. Sprinkle flour onto a baking sheet. Take a small portion of the meat mixture and roll it into a ball in the palm of your hand. Form all meatballs in this way. Coat the meatballs with flour, rolling them on the floured baking sheet until evenly covered. Shake off excess flour by placing the meatballs in a fine-mesh colander.
