I love meatballs, but I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never made them. I always by the low-fat version at Aldi’s, which are good, but I’m sure that don’t compare to homemade in taste or healthiness. Thanks for sharing!

I think taste-wise they are very similar,but you could easily pan fry a few and compare them yourself. We prefer to bake them as it lets some of the fat drain off. If I’m feeling particularly health conscious I’ll use a broiling pan to let more fat drip off.

Make these whatever diameter you’d like, we just prefer the smaller ones for their versatility. It’s harder to stuff a 2″ one into a calzone. You will need to adjust the baking time accordingly.

HTH!

I’ve done meatballs only once (2″ diameter), and I deep fried them in olive oil before letting them simmer for 30 minutes in marinara. How does baking/broiling them compare taste-wise?
