Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: The better the quality of the ground beef, the tastier the meatballs will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the meatballs rest before cooking: This will help them hold their shape better.
  • Brown the meatballs before simmering them in the sauce: Browning the meatballs will give them a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer will add flavor to the sauce, so use a beer that you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
