Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: A combination of beef, pork, and veal makes the best meatballs. Beef provides flavor, pork adds richness, and veal contributes tenderness. If you're using ground turkey or chicken, you may need to add some extra fat to keep the meatballs moist.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your meatballs will taste. Use fresh bread crumbs, herbs, and spices. If you're using frozen meat, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to season your meatballs liberally. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Mix the meatballs gently: Overmixing the meatballs will make them tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture.
  • Form the meatballs into uniform sizes: This will help them cook evenly. Use a small ice cream scoop to form the meatballs, or roll them by hand. Make sure they are all about the same size.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Meatballs should be cooked until they are no longer pink in the center. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the meatballs hot: Meatballs are best served hot out of the oven. You can serve them with a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, marinara sauce, or Alfredo sauce. Meatballs can also be served on their own as an appetizer or snack.
