Cooking tips 💡

• Using only beef can make the meatballs dry, so mixing in some pork helps retain juicy fat and a tender texture.
• Adding too much starch can make the meat texture dull and turn it fish-cake-like, so stick to exactly 2 tablespoons.
• When cooking covered over low heat, any cheese that leaks out will crisp up on the pan bottom like scorched rice; sticking this crispy cheese onto the meatballs maximizes the flavor.
