Thank you for doing this work on all of our behalves! I’m one who bakes meatballs, but did not have the secret to getting them browned and crisped. 🙏🏻

I made these today, and I was a little nervous because I have never made meatballs before and am new to cooking with meat. They were delicious! Best meatballs my husband and I have ever had. My 2 year old agreed, she said, "these are soooooo goooood!!" Looking forward to trying them with ground turkey or meatless meat. Thank you, Ali!

It's a red chimichurri, similar to this one: https://honest-food.net/red-chimichurri-recipe/

My mom's meatballs were always dry but never bad as a kid, but I attributed that to her use of ground turkey. I started making them with a combo or pork and beef and that helped. Exited to try this method!
