This is my husband’s favorite meatball recipe. It’s so easy to make, but the results are great. I didn’t forget to add the salt. The Montreal steak seasoning adds plenty. Baking them helps keep them together. Frying after baking them gives the meatballs a nice brown crust. Substitute ground Italian sausage for half of the ground beef for a bit of a kick. The cooked meatballs freeze well.
