Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center. Put the diced bread in a large bowl, pour the milk or water over it, let it soak for 5 minutes, then mash with a fork.
2. Add the beef, pork, half the parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined; do not overmix. The mixture should be very moist, so add a little more milk if needed.
3. Shape into meatballs about 1½ inches across, roughly 2 tablespoons each. Wet your hands first.
4. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, turning every 2 minutes, for about 8 minutes per batch. They do not need to be cooked through.
5. Spread 1 cup of marinara in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Arrange the browned meatballs over it in one layer. Pour the remaining marinara over the top and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and the mozzarella.
6. Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, until the meatballs reach 165°F inside, the cheese has melted and the casserole is bubbling.
