The panade is the game changer without a doubt. Going a step further, I’d also say using high quality bread crumbs. I take the ends of my sourdough batards, cut them into cubes and tuck them away in the freezer so I always have on hand.

Wonderful idea!

I like to grate an onion into the breadcrumbs. Mm, now I want meatballs...

When I mix the breadcrumbs with the milk before mixing with the ground beef, I always end up with knots of the breadcrumb mush in my meatballs... but if I mix it in more, then I get tough meatballs. What's a gal to do?

Allow the breadcrumbs to steep in the milk for 20 minutes and ensure it forms into a smooth paste, without any clumps. Hope that helps!

Your post came just as I was wracking my brain for snacks to take to game night. Made a sauce with homemade grape jelly, ketchup, and BBQ seasoning. Delicious!

I have always added milk to my breadcrumbs and meat for meatballs… But I never knew its fancy name. 🎉

PS, when I was pregnant with my now 18 year-old daughter, my number one craving was meatballs. 🍝 I ate so many. I think that is the reason she doesn’t like them to this day! (Overload) 😉
