What cereal to cook meatballs with: a variant of a hearty budget dish

Meatballs are a versatile meat dish that cooks much faster than cabbage rolls or dumplings or vareniki. The main thing is to choose the right products to make the structure juicy and soft. To do this, add a variety of cereals. Bulgur is the best choice for this. It does not turn into porridge, remains crumbly, and does not make the meat dry. In addition, this dish is much more budget-friendly.
