What's so great about meatballs, besides their meaty taste and texture, is that they are so versatile in how they can be served. Besides the most popular choice, with spaghetti, rice, or polenta, or piled onto a hard for for a meatball sub. These meatballs are prepared the traditional way, with a ground beef and pork and the usual seasonings and egg and breadcrumbs as the binders. They are also first cooked until browned all over and then simmered in tomatoes to cook through.
