SO HOW'D IT GO?
This turned into a sloppy-jo type meal rather than meatball because the batter would not stick (I added all in all an extra half cup of bread crumbs) so I just gave up and didn't try to press it into balls but just added it into a tomato sauce and served it on toasted bread. The flavor was amazing! I would not suggest this recipe if you are looking for a meatball recipe but rather a "meat" sandwich. I would make this recipe again and again! Thank you! :)
