My meatballs are worth raving about and my husband hasn't stopped oooohing and ahhhing over the hot meatball sub sandwiches. <br />I made one MINOR change (of an addition only) - I had a small amount of plain Greek yogurt and added that to my meatball mix. It made them that much more moist. <br />I learn from you everyday, Chef John! THANK YOU for all you do; recording videos, editing, narrating with your humor, your time, energy - it all means a lot to so many people like me. Big HUGS and gratitude!

I added 1 lb of ground veal to mine in addition to the pork and beef and adjusted all other ingredients accordingly. I also ended up having to cook on the 20 to 25 minute side, but perhaps I made the meatballs too big. Also let the meat mixture sit for several hours in the fridge versus just one. All of my guests were amazed. Excellent, EXCELLENT recipe.

I just tried your Italian Meatballs and they were a success. I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of adding more salt. I find it is a must for meets. I like how you bake the meatballs in the oven, rather than on the stove, which can cause a lot of splatters and mess!
