Meatballs far too dense :(

I had high hopes for a recipe I found on The Gracious Pantry, Slow Cooker Italian Style Meatballs.  She warned that the meatballs are dense, and boy were they.  Too dense for me to eat.  If anyone has any ideas how to make this recipe better, feel free to chime in.  I may play with it a bit, as it is such a simple recipe and ask the hubby to play around with it, too.  If I figure out anything, I will post an update.  Until then, I will not remake this recipe :(

But, a product review of a great product came from making this dish/  Hubby bought me a Silpoura for Christmas.  What is it?  Check this out! I used it to strain my pasta.  It was so easy.  I love it!  And it is easy to clean, to boot!  He bought mine on Amazon. 


Some other uses for the Silpoura:

  1. I wonder if shredded zucchini would help moisten them. Unless you're anti carb, soaked bread in milk would loosen them up as well.

    1. Hi Barbara! Thanks for being the first person to comment on my new blog! I use to make a meatloaf with zucchini and family did not like the texture....perhaps too much zucchini. Maybe spinach? Thanks for commenting. Hope you are liking the blog :)
