Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Grass-fed beef or lamb, organic vegetables, and tangy feta cheese will all make a big difference in the final dish.
Season the meatballs liberally. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of meat.
Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
Cook the meatballs thoroughly. They should be cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the meatballs hot, with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include tomato sauce, tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta cheese.
