Recipe Tips
If you like a bit of a kick in your meatballs, try adding some red pepper flakes or hot sauce. You can also mix in some cooked crumbled bacon for an extra salty and smoky flavor. To make the meatballs even more flavorful, try adding some finely minced herbs like oregano, basil, or parsley.
For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the ground beef for crumbled tofu. You can also use a vegan cheese alternative to make the dish dairy-free. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free bread crumb alternative and you’re good to go.
