Instructions
- 01
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- 02
Mix all of the meatball ingredients together in a mixing bowl. The best way to make sure all of the ingredients are well incorporated is to use your hands. If you're squeamish about touching the meat, use nylon kitchen gloves.
- 03
Use a half-ounce scoop or spoon to portion out the meatballs and then use your hands to roll into a ball. The meatballs should be about a half dollar size or just smaller than a ping pong ball.
- 04
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup, leaving a little room between each meatball. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
