I just completed making 280 of these meatballs. I encourage everyone to use fresh parsley and basil as Nicole. I also added a little over 1/2 cup finely chopped green peppers. These are soooo good!!

Just made these for son n law’s birthday. His choice. Your recipe is so perfect. Thanks for suggestion about mixing before adding meat. So tender! Thanks Nicole.

They are the best meatballs I ever have. I had to try this recipe when she said I put a pinch of Oregano in because my mom always did, mom knows best.

I made these awhile back and they are really good. I fried up about 1/2 pound a loose burger and added it to the sauce. Meat in the sauce and meatballs too. you can't go wrong there.

I made these on the pellet grill at 350° for about 30 minutes. I tried turning them halfway and almost had a disaster of them falling apart. They needed more time to set up. On a pan would be better next time. ‘Great recipe! Thank You!

You are so authentic! Please keep these videos coming! One question though, how long in the oven and what temperature do you recommend? Thanks!!!

[joemccarthy]

You should add some FENNEL . Also adding water to the meat ball mixture keeps the meatballs moist

I really like your videos and recipies. Most of the time you give the measurements and instructions. This video was lacking much of that.but i just eyeballed the ingredients and I'm sure it will be fine because meatballs are not rocket science. Thanks for a great recipie!
