I make mine several different ways - all depending on my "mood" and who's eating!
Meat, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic, grated Pecorino Romano, plain tomato sauce. Meat can be beef and/or veal and/or pork. I don't measure anything - it's all by look.
I leave the Italian seasonings, marjoram, basil, chili pepper, crushed red peppers, etc. to the flavoring s for the sauce - not the meatballs.
Just preference.
Sometimes I add rice and sometimes I add raisins (my absolute favorite).
I don't use seasoned crumbs unless they are the ones I make. I dislike the taste of crumbs like Progresso, etc. Haven't found a use for the store bought ones for anything yet.
