Tips:
- Use lean ground beef. This will help to keep the meatballs light and fluffy.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs together and make them more tender.
- Season the meatball mixture generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
- Form the meatballs into small, 1-inch balls. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat before adding them to the sauce. This will help to give them a nice crust.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through. This will help to develop the flavor of the sauce and meatballs.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
