If you don’t know how to make meatballs, don’t worry! We’ve got all the tricks. We’ve made beef meatballs, turkey meatballs, chicken meatballs, and even vegetarian meatballs. We’re not here to keep up the meatball mystique, we’re here to spill the beans! We want everyone to be as meatball-happy as we are, because meatballs for dinner is honestly one of our favorite meals (and kids love them, too). So, what is the secret to good meatballs? Whatever kind of meatball recipe you decide to make, a few tricks will ensure perfect meatballs every time:
- Mix the meatball mixture with your hands, rather than an electric mixer. A delicate touch while mixing will help ensure that your meatballs are tender, not tough.
- Wet your hands while you roll the meatballs. Keep a little dish of water next to you while you roll the meatballs, and wet your palms between every couple of meatballs. This will keep the mixture from sticking to your hands.
