Home Alone: The Great Sausage Heist
Two masked bandits in black turtlenecks case a suburban kitchen at Christmas, and the only score worth taking is the cured sausage sitting on top of the fridge. A holiday heist parody short from Uncle Larry Adventures — comedy, capers, and one very well-guarded link of Italian sausage.
Quick answer
How do you make Italian meatballs from scratch?
Mix 1 pound of ground meat (beef, or a beef-pork blend) with 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs soaked in ½ cup milk, 1 egg, ½ cup grated Parmesan, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently, roll into balls, and brown in a skillet or bake at 400°F until cooked through — about 160°F in the center for beef and pork. The secret to tenderness is the milk-soaked breadcrumb panade and a light hand.
