Instructions
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, parsley salt and milk. Use you hands and mix it real well for a minute or 2. It should have a slightly sticky feel when ready. This is perfect!
Shape into 2 inch balls (or smaller if you desire for appetizer size)
Heat skillet on medium heat and add meatballs. Brown meatballs by rolling them around in the pan. They don't need to cook all the way through - just brown them.
Once meatballs are browned, drain off the fat but keep the meatballs in the skillet. Add marinara sauce and lower heat to low setting. If you skillet has a cover, cover it. Bring sauce and meatballs to a very low simmer and let cook for about 15-20 minutes.
