What makes a great meatball?
Most people think of or use ground beef for meatballs. But, did you know that fattier meats like lamb and pork will make more tender meatballs.
You can always find a recipe you like and just change up the type of meat you use.
Is it better to fry or bake meatballs?
Baking is a bit more healthier and helps those who have tummy issues with fried foods. However, in my opinion, frying taste better. You choose how to make them.
Do meatballs need eggs?
No. Eggs can make meatballs denser and spongy. You can add them as a binder, but don’t overdo it.

I always find the best meatloaf is when you combine 2 meats so this makes sense for meatballs. Will have to try next time! Thanks for stopping by the Creative Spark Link Party. Hope you link up again today! http://bit.ly/1t2Ohhl

I like the idea of leaner meats being mixed together. Sometimes because the turkey is so lean, it tends to not stick together as well. Thanks for linking at the Yuck Stops Here party.
I love having these for quick snack or small meal. Thanks for stopping by Chrystal!
Have a great day!
Turkey and pork sounds like a great meatball combo. I usually do pork/beef, but I’ll have to give turkey/pork a try.
I’ve done pork and beef before, that’s what I mix for my meatloaf and it’s good too. Just like mixing it up 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!
Have a great day!
