Drain the excess milk from the bread (it should still be very juicy). Add the bread to the meat mix. Mix everything well.

Pour your Progresso bread crumbs into a medium bowl.

Shape your meat into 1" balls and roll them in the bread crumbs. It's best to have all your meatballs breaded before starting to saute them.
8
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil and let it heat up. Saute about ⏱️ 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Once the meatballs are done, start making your gravy.
