Since this recipe calls for ground beef, how about a ground chicken version? Yes! Why not? Add a twist to your regular meatball and stuffed it with a hard-boiled egg for a wonderful surprise! Bake it or fry it – you choose! 😉

 

Frankly, I’d choose chicken over beef and pork. Simply because it’s cheaper, more chewable, absorbs seasonings quickly, and cooks easily. It doesn’t really take much of your time when cooking which makes it the best choice, especially on busy days.

But all in all, whatever meat you choose for your dish, it will always taste best when you cook it with love. Do you agree? 😉
