Notes
- * I generally follow 1 tbsp of arrowroot flour per pound of ground meat.
- When combining meatballs, do not overmix. Otherwise, meatballs will tend to dry out during the cooking process.
- Using a Cast Iron Skillet will make the meatballs extra crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.
