Tips:
- Use ground meat that is at least 80% lean. This will help keep the meatballs moist and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meat mixture. This will help bind the meatballs together and make them more tender.
- Add an egg to the meat mixture. This will also help bind the meatballs together and make them more moist.
- Season the meat mixture generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help give the meatballs flavor.
- Form the meatballs into small, 1-inch balls. This will help them cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat before adding them to the sauce. This will help them develop a nice crust and lock in the flavor.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help them become tender and flavorful.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables.
