My meatballs always came out dry until my neighbor called me out on it
I used to make meatballs like my mom did, with lean ground beef and barely any fat. My neighbor Mike watched me one day and asked why I was using 93/7 meat for meatballs. He said they need that fat to stay moist, and he was right. After 20 years of dry meatballs, I switched to 80/20 ground chuck and suddenly they actually tasted like something. Has anyone else had a similar moment where a simple swap changed everything?

Did you try adding a splash of milk or some breadcrumbs soaked in it to the mix too? That was the other game changer for me.
