You may need a "filler" when you mix the such as cracker crumbs and eggs, like you would make a meatloaf. This binds the ground beef mixture together so it doesn't fall apart so easily. Then make your meatballs, season them, and put them in the skillet with a little olive oil on medium heat and don't turn them until the one side is browned. Then gently turn them on the other side to complete the cooking. Let them cool slightly before you take them out of the skillet. I use a cup-shaped spatula or a large table spoon to turn them instead of a flat spatula. I always cover them while they're browning so the grease doesn't splatter.

My daugher loves meatballs! I think my measurements to make meatballs are 1/4 to 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs and 1 egg for every 2 pounds of ground beef. This makes the mixture stick together better. And also plenty of seasoning to taste. Cook a small piece of the mixture in a pan and taste test before making meatbals. Pack the meat together, then roll into a ball. I find making a good "ball" allows me to shake the pan and turn them, rather than having to turn them with a spoon that can "bruise". I brown them on medium heat, then bake about 15-20 minutes in a 350 oven. The key is to not "jostle" them too much. Then add noodles and sauce on top of them, cover and heat through. Hope this helps!

hi there. i'm no gourmet chef but what i'd say is crack an egg into the mince and mix it. you can add breadcrumbs and mix them in too. mix well. make sure your skillet is hot before adding oil. make sure oil is hot before adding meatballs. when browned on outside, stick meatballs (still in skillet) into hot oven for around 5/10 minutes. if you leave in skillet it will lessen chances of breaking. oh and make sure your skillet can withstand heat of oven. hope i helped you . good luk with your cookingxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Eggs are the binding agent for meatballs, so it seems you are not using enough eggs, try using more eggs as a binder. Have a good day

you need to add more eggs to your mixture along with enough bread crumbs in order to bind the mixture together.
