    GREAT!! I used all 85% ground beef, and baked them. Super moist, didn't even need a sauce. Definitely a keeper - thanks!

    This is a great recipe for moist meatballs. I used all lean beef in mine and I was really pleased with the results. I baked them in a single layer on a baking paper lined shallow roasting pan. I will however add a little salt and freshly ground black pepper next time I make them just for extra flavour. To serve, I poured over a tomato based pasta sauce and served them on steamed rice. Thanks for a 'keeper'
