So tender and great! I used a piece of gluten free garlic bread instead of plain bread. It was so delicious!

I had what I thought was 3/4 lbs. of ground beef in my freezer. Defrosted the meat only to find that it was pork. Had all the ingredients, thinking "who would boil pork in beef broth". Boy was I wrong, these meatballs are soooooo good & not at all greasy.
