Spaghetti and Meatballs 

An old classic that was oh so needed tonight. It's been a long week here y'all. My dad had open heart surgery and I've been at the hospital all week (along with our family). It's been four whole days since I've cooked for my family. I don't think any of us like to go out to eat that much. So, I was thinking  what would make them happy and also comforting and homey? 

This is it. 

Ingredients:

Meatballs: 

• 2lbs ground pork

• 2lbs ground beef

• 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs

Meatballs: 

• First, reserve about 1/2lb of the pork and the beef and set aside.
