Low fat meatballs can be dry tasteless blobs if you go too low on the fat. The fat gives them the tender juicy taste. But, some meatballs can have too much fat and irritate your stomach if you aren't used to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is based on one in the Cook's Illustrated Cookbook,<\/a> but I reduced the fat while maintaining the flavor and texture we all desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have made these twice now with 10% fat beef and fat free dairy and they were awesome both times. This time I made it with both pork and beef because I actually had some ground pork on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, they are just as delicious with only low fat ground beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
