I think that the all beef ones by mama lucia are decent. They are tiny (bite sized) but come in a bag of 100 at giant for $10.

Just scale the batch. They won’t take too long.


I’ve made these many times. This recipe is amazing:

interesting comparing this chef John recipe to the fountain Avenue Jen's recipe: John:Jen -- 1cup panko vs 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs; 1/2 cup parm vs 2T parm; 1 egg vs 2. And John does 1:1 ground beef and pork; Jen all beef. I guess that's just recipes but a little hard for newbies for make sense of it

Different meatballs, different occasions. Almost every culture on the planet has some form of meatball or shaped ground meat. They are all wonderful.

There is a time for Italian meatballs in red sauce, there is a time for chili-jam meatballs (this DP Midwesterner loves sour cherry jam and Bennett’s chili sauce for this) and Swedish meatballs and kofta and hambugu and everything else…

but op is looking for Italian meatballs
