Instructions

- Prepare the meatballs by mixing all the meatball ingredients into large mixing bowl. I hate to say it but there’s no better kitchen utensil for mixing meatballs than your hands. Roll up your sleeves!
- Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball or slightly bigger. Place on lightly greased baking pans.
Sauce
