These are pretty good meatballs. I liked that I could just put them in the pan raw without pre-browning them. Pre-browning them might make the texture a little nicer, but they turned out fine without. The meat mixture was very wet and sticky, so next time I might not add quite as much milk. Also the sauce was very runny, so I added in some cornstarch so it would thicken up during cooking. Added a few drops of liquid smoke to give it a bit of a hickory flavor as well. I doubled the recipe and used half extra lean ground beef and half ground turkey. Served it over rice. Will be making this again.
