Ground beef Meatballs

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the products. Instead of breadcrumbs, I took stale bread, it's not critical.

2. Step 2:

   

   Crackers must be pre-soaked. I always do it in water, someone likes it in milk, then it needs to be warmed up a little or diluted with warm water. After the crackers swell, it will be necessary to remove the crusts, without them it will be tastier and more beautiful, and squeeze out excess water. If you take breadcrumbs, then just fill them with a slightly larger volume of liquid, wait for five minutes, if it is not all absorbed, then drain the remains.
