In a large bowl, combine ground meat, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.

Add egg, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the mixture.

Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer browned meatballs to a baking dish.

Pour tomato sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle with cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Serve hot with pasta or on a sub roll.
