lightbulb The chef's notes

“Mix the meat just until everything comes together and no further, because overworking it packs the meatballs dense and tough. The soaked breadcrumbs and milk are there to keep them tender, so don't skip them, and wait until they are out of the oven to toss them in the BBQ sauce.”
