Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats: This will give your meatballs a more complex flavor and texture. Ground beef, pork, and veal are all good choices.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs will help to keep the meatballs moist and tender. You can also use regular breadcrumbs, but panko breadcrumbs will give you a crispier exterior.
  • Bake the meatballs at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the meatballs so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or barbecue sauce are all good choices.
