    Not a bad recipe. The first time I made it, the mixture turned out very loose, resulting in me adding a substantial amount of extra bread crumbs (I didn't think about using extra meat. Not sure why my mixture turned out so loose. Could have been from a very juicy onion or just too much eggs and milk.

    But I used half the eggs and half the milk the second time and added some salt and pepper, which made for much better meatball. Overall decent recipe, but very easy to tweak to your liking.

    I have to start by saying my husband thought he didn't like most pasta dishes because he finds them bland. I usually have to double/triple ingredients like garlic and basil before finding red sauces enjoyable. These meatballs, however were unbelievable without changing a thing, I read many of the comments after making the meatballs already. I saw a bunch of people used less egg which I can't imagine. The consistency was perfect. I haven't tried these in a sauce yet but can't imagine them not being amazing since by themselves they are delicious. I am very excited about this recipe!

    The ratios seemed odd, but the texture was fantastic! Must use fresh herbs and scale. Still, the flavor was just a little flat for my pallet so I doubled the onion, and added some red pepper flakes.

    Didn't care for Grandma's sauce recipe, but it makes a good base if you use 1/3 the oil.

    Great Recipe. Growing up in NJ, our neighbor made the best meatballs. When ever she made them, she was always sure to invite me over. These are the best I've had since. I like baking them as it's a little less work. Our neighbor used to cook them in her sauce, and I've tried it that way too, which is even easier. Just add a couple at a time to a hot pot of sauce. Don't add too many at once so it doesn't cool the sauce off. The hotter the better so it helps the meatballs keep their shape. Glad the Maroni's shared the recipe. The sause recipe is great too.
