Special Precautions and Tips: • Make sure that the ground beef is at least 80% lean to prevent the meatballs from becoming too greasy. • If you don't have Italian bread crumbs, you can use regular bread crumbs or even crushed crackers. • Don't overmix the meatball mixture, as this can toughen the meatballs. • Let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
