Best Big Johns Southern Buttermilk Meatballs Recipes
BUTTERMILK MEATBALLS
Not sure exactly where I found this but I do know it was a personal blog online. I modified the original recipe just a little and think these are the BEST! They let just enough of the buttermilk flavor through and are super moist without falling apart. I use these for tomato sauce, sweet and sour, and Swedish meatballs.

Steps:
- Combine bread pieces and buttermilk in a bowl. I use my Kitchenaide so just put it in the mixing bowl.
- Let the bread and buttermilk sit for 10 minutes.
- Then mash, or mix, to a smooth paste.
- Add other ingredients and blend well, but be careful NOT to overwork the mixture.
- I then place the mixture in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This just firms the mixture and makes it easier to handle.
- Next I form 1 inch balls and deep fry them at 310 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Not sure how they would be baked but please let me know if anyone tries that.
- Last I usually put them in the crock pot with my sauce for about an hour to insure the middle is done well and to let the flavors blend.
- So far this recipe has never failed me.

CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Homemade meatballs are a very easy to make, and since we skip the very messy step of pan-frying these before they hit the sauce, it becomes downright simple. Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. You can substitute water or beef broth for the milk, if preferred.
