Not sure exactly where I found this but I do know it was a personal blog online. I modified the original recipe just a little and think these are the BEST! They let just enough of the buttermilk flavor through and are super moist without falling apart. I use these for tomato sauce, sweet and sour, and Swedish meatballs.

Steps:
- Combine bread pieces and buttermilk in a bowl. I use my Kitchenaide so just put it in the mixing bowl.
- Let the bread and buttermilk sit for 10 minutes.
- Then mash, or mix, to a smooth paste.
- Add other ingredients and blend well, but be careful NOT to overwork the mixture.
- I then place the mixture in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This just firms the mixture and makes it easier to handle.
- Next I form 1 inch balls and deep fry them at 310 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Not sure how they would be baked but please let me know if anyone tries that.
- Last I usually put them in the crock pot with my sauce for about an hour to insure the middle is done well and to let the flavors blend.
- So far this recipe has never failed me.

- Choose the right beef. Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for the meatballs. This will give them a moist and flavorful texture.
- Season the meatballs well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatballs, such as garlic, onion, parsley, and thyme.
- Brown the meatballs before cooking them in the gravy. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from falling apart.

- Serve the meatballs and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. This will make a hearty and satisfying meal.
