Notes
Meatballs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees. If you're adding them to sauce, they will simmer until done if not at temperature. If serving right away, make sure they're at least 160 degrees before serving.
You can use all beef if you don't have pork, but flavor and texture won't be exactly the same.
Sub 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs or cracker crumbs for fresh bread crumbs.
