Notes

  • Shaping the meatballs — You will be using your hand to shape the ground meat into meatballs, so keep in mind that you need to approach gently and avoid overworking the meat.
 
  • Adding moisture — Breadcrumbs are super important when making meatballs. They work as a binder and ensure that your meat won’t break apart. Still, that might not be enough. Using some milk will help keep the meat moisturized and ensure that it won’t fall apart.
