Tips:
- Use a combination of ground meats. This will give your meatballs a more complex flavor and texture. Ground beef, pork, and veal are all good choices.
- Don't overwork the meat mixture. Overworking the meat will make your meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Season the meat mixture well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to give your meatballs flavor. Garlic, onion, parsley, and oregano are all good choices.
- Form the meatballs into small, uniform balls. This will help them cook evenly. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to measure out the meat mixture.
- Brown the meatballs before cooking them in sauce. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
- Use a variety of sauces. Meatballs can be cooked in a variety of sauces, including tomato sauce, marinara sauce, or a simple sauce made with olive oil and garlic.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Meatballs can be served with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
