When I make my own meatballs, I get the ground beef from ly local
butcher shop, not the grocer. It is a blend of meat scraps that they
butcher in the shop and beef heart (which I like). Leaner than regualr
beef, great flavor. Also, my recipe is 1/3 ground pork, also from the
same butcher shop. I can ask the type of pork or beef used and they
will tell me. Also, if I am really picky, I can choose from available
cuts and have them ground on request, something I have never done, but I
have that option.

Also, I broil mine (the recipe called for frying in 3/4 inch of oil).
Flavor is great, deep and worth the effort.
