- Don't be afraid to use your hands to mix the meatballs. Sometimes I find it a lot easier if the ingredients aren’t coming together with a spoon or spatula.
- Want to add a surprise to the middle? Stuff a small cube of cheddar cheese inside the meatballs before baking.
- Vary your hot sauce flavor to create tons of different meatball varieties.
