Hi /ck/, welcome to a meatballalong. I will be making meatballs. Feel free to contribute your own.
We are starting with about 11lbs of mixed sirloin, short rib, pork butt, and lamb leg. I have already ground it, salted it, and added garlic powder and parsley. I like to run the parsley thru the meat grinder after the meat, it helps to clear it out and not so much of the meat goes down the drain. My friends know me as Mrs. Meatball due to my skill with making these so hopefully you can pick up some tips!

First things first - fry up a micromeatball to see how well the meat is seasoned.

Bellisimo! It's near perfect but needed a bit more salt. Tastes wonderful

Please tell me you deep fry your balls for perfect even crust before finishing in the sauce or you are far from earning the title of >Mrs. Meatball

We're getting there anon. That is one of the tips I hoped to impart. Here is a bunch of meatballs made up but still raw. You can tell I tried to start smaller but they got bigger as I got bored. I'll try them up next.

They're going in a sauce, anon, that will cook them through. They just need a little crust. If you cook them all the way thru on the stove they will crumble in the sauce. Bet you're like 5'10

not that anon but I add grated onion, grated garlic, grated parm, pepper and salt, oregano and basil, a touch of chili flake, and dash of Worcestershire typically.
I like a flavorful meatball, though usually I make subs instead of on pasta
