  • Don't overwork the meat. Overworking the meat will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the meatballs. This will prevent them from overcrowding and sticking to each other.
  • Brown the meatballs on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent them from drying out.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meatballs to become tender.
