• US cup and spoon conversions are approximate. Use the metric amounts for the closest match to the video.
• For tender meatballs, let the breadcrumbs soak in the milk and avoid overworking the meat mixture. Brown the meatballs in batches, then finish cooking them at a gentle simmer in the sauce.
• What would you serve with these meatballs: mashed potatoes or egg noodles? Let me know in the comments.
