These tasty meatballs will disappear quickly from anyone's holiday party. My mom makes them every year for New Years Eve, and now so do I. These do very well in a slow cooker, as you can simmer them before serving, as well as keep them hot for the duration of your party.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your meatballs will taste. Use fresh, lean ground beef and flavorful spices.
  • Don't Overmix the Meatballs: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the Meatballs Thoroughly: Cook the meatballs until they are cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked meatballs will be dry and tough.
  • Use a Good Sauce: The sauce is what really makes the meatballs. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and complements the meatballs.
  • Serve the Meatballs Warm: Meatballs are best served warm. If you are making them ahead of time, reheat them gently before serving.
