Work everything together until it is thoroughly mixed.
Form meat into large balls approximately 2 ounces each. We were able to get 22 meatballs.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove from oven and place into pan with sauce in it coating the meatballs before serving them.

Notes

Tips on serving with sauce:

To add a little more flavor to your meatballs put them in a pot with your favorite sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes to let them absorb some of that flavor.

If you're short on time you can just toss them in the sauce and immediately serve over your preferred pasta, in a sandwich, or on their own. Top with more sauce and cheese and enjoy!
