That is no knife needed to prep!!

These super easy tender beef meatballs are excellent, don’t let the simple recipe fool you. You can customize as you like adding chopped herbs, onions etc.. But see the secret ingredient below!

Big Tip and Secret! Gelatin!

The gelatin is extremely important if you are doing all beef. When you do a mix with veal and pork they add softness. The gelatin will make up for this in all beef meatballs, after all gelatin comes from beef bones!

This is also a good tip for all beef meatloaf. I add 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin per pound of meat.

Gather The Ingredients for These super Easy Tender Beef meatballs

• 1 lb ground beef 80/20 or 73/27
