Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make meatballs from ground beef? Prepare all the necessary products. Instead of breadcrumbs, I used stale bread, this is not critical.

Step 2

Step 2
Pre-soak the crackers. I always do this in water, some people like it in milk, then it needs to be warmed up a little or diluted with warm water. After the crackers have swollen, you need to remove the crusts, without them it will be tastier and more beautiful, and squeeze out the excess water with your hands. If you take breadcrumbs, then simply fill them with a slightly larger volume of liquid, wait about five minutes, if not all of it is absorbed, then drain the rest.
