FAQ

What is the secret to meatballs?

Baking them gives the meatballs a little more flavor without additional oil since you are searing the outside under the broiler in your oven. Just make sure you bake them on a really heavy-duty baking sheet like this one.

Is it better to fry or bake meatballs?

  • Buttered Noodles.
  • Green Beans.
  • Rice.
  • Roasted Brussel Sprouts.

What goes good with meatballs?

Breadcrumbs help bind the meat together, however, believe it or not, it is actually better to make meatballs without breadcrumbs. Rather than using breadcrumbs, slices of white bread are far superior. Removing the crust from white bread and cutting it into ½” cubes allows you to make a panade.
