Welcome to my super special non cheesy valentine’s day edition of dinner, sorted. I don’t know about you but the last thing I want to do on Valentine’s day is go out to a crowded restaurant with stressed out wait staff and overpriced VDAY specials. I will happily put on my fanciest pjs and make a special (but EASY) dinner in and maybe even get a little wild and leave the dishes … for tomorrow 🫢 NO … no I couldn’t …
Plus it would be incredibly sad to leave Reggie home alone on such a special day!

Why soak the bread: soaked bread (panade) keeps the meatballs tender and juicy. Breadcrumbs work in a pinch, but the texture won’t be quite as soft.
What does 80/20 mean: this is ratio of lean to high fat beef and is the best ratio for a juicy but not overly fatty meatball. Most stores “regular” ground beef will be 80/20. DO NOT use lean ground beef as your meatballs will fall apart.
