I made a small test batch so I could tweak the actual meatballs I planned to serve. They turned out good, but dry. Considering that could be a sign of them being over exposed to dry heat causing them to become overcooked I'm going to try baking them plain for 15 minutes and then put them in a covered baking dish with sauce the remaining amount of time. Hopefully that will help.

This was so easy to make and very tasty! If you don't have mini muffin pans place a cooling rack on a cookie sheet and the cooling rack will keep the meat out of the drippings and the cookie sheet will catch the drippings. You just won't have the perfect round shape that you would with the mini muffin pans.

Fantastic meatball! Great texture and depth of flavor. Replaced my mother's recipe as our favorite meatball. Alton delivers another winner!

I use beef & pork. I followed the recipe as best I could. At first I thought the powder garlic was going to be a bit much but use it as it said. I did let the meat sit over night (24 hour I think that made the flavors much richer. I rolled the balls the next day and used a little more Italian breadcrumbs to cover them lightly all around. I fried them in a skillet lightly. I placed them in individual cupcake (the ones that have the foil on the outside for more support and the paper inside on a cookie sheet. Easy clean up. They came out great. The best I ever had. The garlic & crush pepper is a great complement to any spaghetti & pizza sauce. I'm Italian and my whole family said they were the best spaghetti & meatball ever. I made them again for pizza & meatball and they were amazing. It only gets better every time. I used flat bread instead of dough (good Italian ciabatta bread to make the pizza. I highly recommend them. They are my signature dish now. AB is a God in the kitchen.

For those who got dry meatballs, perhaps you didn't realize that on the show he used FRESH bread crumbs, not the dry stuff in the can. Big difference. That should have been noted in the written recipe, but wasn't. (This should also solve the "bland" problem as well.

Needs more liquid and more flavor.

I make this just like Alton in the mini cupcake tray. It made a huge mess. Just be sure you put a pan under the cupcake pan! The meatballs are some of the best I've tasted.

These were moist and quick with great flavor. These will become a new standard in our house. I loved not having to fry them, just put them in the oven and forget it. Bravo Alton Brown!
