Nobody can resist a good meatball — Jimmy Kimmel even thinks it’s high time they got their own emoji. We love meatballs so much, in fact, that we’re always looking for new ways to try out different versions and even revamp the classics, which is exactly what we’ve done here with this delicious German dish. Guten Appetit!
