I cook my meatball/patties in muffin tins in the oven, so much easier than in a fry pan. I cover loosely with tinfoil for first part of baking then remove.

I've made the Countdown meatballs a few times - they are so tasty.

Has anyone got a good tasty recipe for meatballs? Mine always seem a bit on the dry side.

I don't have a recipe but use a variation of a Swedish one I read years ago. It has 2 slices of bread soaked in milk,until mush, then the rest of the ingredients are added. I add worcestershire sauce to the mush.
