Chef Rocco Dispirito’s Mama’s Meatballs, While watching the cooking segment of the October 19th episode of The Tony Danza Show, Chef Rocco’s Dispirito’s mama prepared her infamous meatballs. I have not tried them, but I have a friend that did the following night and said she will never make another meatball recipe again., I followed the recipe as shown many times….it’s wonderful! , but this time, I made it as a meatloaf! It was wonderful! I added some good red pasta sauce and a couple of strips of bacon across the top……baked it covered for 45 minutes at 350, uncovered it and baked it another 45 minutes. It was great as meatloaf, great sliced the next night and made into a “meatball” sandwich with Provolone and more gravy, and tonight it got diced and mixed with rice and stuffed into peppers and baked! Won’t ever make regular meatloaf again!, Super moist and I found that the broiler thing did not work for me so I threw the egg plant into the oven and mashed it up very well and you would never know it was in there!! Super meatballs and sauce!
