  1. Definitely use a panade for moisture, but, a few minutes under the broiler just for a slightly brown outer crust. Finish cooking in the sauce. Also, I first cook 6 ounces of my meatball mixture in the pan that I cook my sauce in. Makes a huge difference. Meatballs are always tender and the sauce is so flavorful and delicious.

  2. Not the best imo. Unless you want a greasy sauce you need to use extra lean ground beef – which has the least flavor and is most prone to breaking apart. At least use 85/15 beef and pan fry or broil on 2 sides before finishing in the sauce

  3. I’ve done it with sear and no sear, and honestly the searing isn’t worth it. They’re great without the sear! But I do season the meatballs well. Note: they taste even better the next day

  4. If youre searing your meatballs in a separate pan than the one youre cooking the sauce youre defeating the whole purpose of the sear. While its not necessary it does help add flavor if youre not in a time or space crunch
