A meatball is a dish made from ground meat, often combined with other ingredients such as bread crumbs, minced onion, eggs, butter, and seasoning. This mixture is rolled into a somewhat spherical ball. Meatballs can be cooked using various methods, including frying, baking, steaming, or braising in sauce. The term also extends to meatless versions prepared with ingredients like legumes, vegetables, mushrooms, fish, or other seafood.
