I'm making meatballs!
Yup, I am.
Although I've cooked and baked hundreds of different dishes I've never made meatballs. The ones that go with spagetti. I've looked up a couple of recipes on the internets but I was hoping that some of you guys might have some tips for me.
Cheers in advance.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Minced meat, egg, flour, form the mix to balls, shallow fry
Cooking wine and some chopped leek are nice for extra taste.

Tips
1) There is no such thing as "too much" garlic
2) Cook the meatballs separate from the sauce (I oven-bake 'em); for me, there's something about a tomato-based sauce that just sucks the beefy taste out of beef; so I keep 'em separate 'til serving.
3) Meatball Size. Depending on who you're feeding: spaghetti's always a kid fav; when His Imperial Majesty, the Grandson drops by, I make 'em bite-sized 1-inchers, to his delight. For me 'n the Lads on a Football Sunday, I make them 4-inch boulders, 3 per Lad (easier for them to serve themselves, then).
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: I'm making meatballs!
Personally I add a good dry cheese like parmesan, remove onions, mince the garlic very fine (I want the taste, not the texture!), and make 'em in big batches because they're great leftover adds to a variety of dishes. I also like (*gasp*) store bought sauce because a really good sauce will take you all day to make anyway, and if I'm going to compromise I'll do it in the name of convenience.
Any more specific questions?

Fennel seeds. It's the professional meatball makers secret weapon. Fresh ground beef, lot-sa-spices, Fennel seed. Bake in oven. Perfect. Let the beef tallow do the work, instead of some other inferior fat.

Adding curry powder to the mix works a treat.

Dunno if I'm the only one, but whenever I see the word meatballs, I immediately want to lynch someone.

Mission acomplished. They went down a treat. Thanks to all, I tried a few of the ideas. Excellent.

Spaghetti & meatballs is a great meal for company. Easy to prepare and fairly cheap even if you're feeding an army. Your granddaughter will think you're quite the chef. Glad it went well!
