Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of ground beef and pork.
- Season the meatballs generously with salt and pepper. Freshly ground black pepper provides a more intense flavor than pre-ground pepper.
- Don't overwork the meatball mixture. Overworking will make the meatballs tough.
- Use a large skillet to fry the meatballs. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the meatballs cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the meatballs will steam instead of fry and will not be as crispy.
- Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite sauce.
