Whos the thumbs down freak now. GET LOST.

Wow some good answers here I wish I could pick more than one.My balls were falling apart check out my open question do I need to add more bread crumbs or omit the egg all together.

Answer 1

I add a tablespoon of splenda to my mixture before I make them. When ya make a nice homemade sauce, I love a little bit of a sweet taste.

Answer 2

I make them with 2/3 ground beef and 1/3 hot italian sausage, then use only fresh bread crumbs, never the ones in the store.

Just like Grandma taught me.

Answer 3

Butter sautéed dried red chilies.

You can buy them in the bag if you don't sun dry your own. Put them on a cutting board and slice very thin rings. I take the butter in a pan, melt it half way on med heat then toss in the slices chilies. It takes just a minute or two, and then I toss that into the meatball mixture.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
