Notes
In order to prepare the ideal bison meatballs using the offered recipe, consider the following advice:
- Use top-notch ground bison: Look for lean, fresh ground bison, ideally from a recognised provider. Your meatballs will be delicious and have an excellent texture as a result.
- Don’t overwork the meat mixture: Take care not to overwork the meat mixture when combining the ingredients. Meatballs that have been overworked may become chewy and rough. Avoid over-kneading or over-squeezing the mixture; simply incorporate the components.
- Forming the meatballs requires using a soft touch. To do this, gently roll the dough into 1-inch balls. The meatballs could get rough if you handle the mixture too much.
- The meatballs should be browned in a skillet before baking to offer an additional layer of flavour and texture. Don’t overcrowd the pan and make sure the skillet is hot before adding the meatballs.
- Until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F, bake the meatballs in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes to guarantee complete cooking. To avoid dry meatballs, use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and don’t overcook.
- Serve with your preferred sauce or toppings: Bison meatballs go well with a range of marinara, pesto, and Parmesan cheese sauces and toppings. Be imaginative and try out various flavour combinations to find your favourite one.
