Ingredients
4 slices French bread

1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon monosodium glutamate
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs
Flour
Olive oil or salad oil
Sauce
1/2 of the olive oil left in the frying pan
1/2 bottle of catsup
2 cups water
Directions
Remove crusts from French bread; pour water over bread and let stand until it absorbs moisture.
Add ground beef, chopped onion, cracker meal, parsley, salt, celery seeds, pepper, monosodium glutamate, cheese, and eggs to the bread, and work ingredients with your hands until soft and well blended.
Drop meat mixture, a tablespoon at a time, into flour; roll each tablespoonful of meat into a ball, and roll balls in flour until all the moist spots disappear.
Into a heavy frying pan, pour olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch; heat oil until you can brown a bread cube in 1 minute.
Drop a few of the meat balls in the pan at one time.
Brown well, turning only once.
Remove and keep warm while you finish browning all the meat.
Bring oil, catsup, and water to a boil; add meat balls.
Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes, turning meat balls only once.
