Italian Meatballs

1 large onion
1 lb. ground round
1/3 Cup plain dry bread crumbs

1/3 Cup evaporated skim milk

Peel and chop onion. Combine chopped onion, ground round, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, Italian herb seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper.

With wet hands, form mixture in 15 meatballs by rolling the meat mixture between the palms of your hands. Each meatball should be about 1 3/4" in diameter. When you're finished rolling the meatballs, wash and dry your hands.
