A few weeks ago there was coupon in the meat section at Kroger
for their freshly made meatballs. I used the coupon, of course,
and baked them a few days later. They were quite good tasting but
you had to use a steak knife to cut them they were sooooooo tough;
no breadcrumbs at all in the mixture.

Amazing how a few bread crumbs or even a torn up piece of white
bread added to the meat mixture can make a difference in the
texture.
