  2. tip #2: use beef instead of pork, keep other ingredients the same. made it tonite, tastes pretty damn good if I do say so meself.

    very easy and highly recommended for people that have never made meatballs (there are thousands of variants, but start with this), or those people who aren't confident cooks. You will surprise yourself, and those around you :)
