Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, do not over mix or you will have tough meatballs.

Using
a 2 tablespoon scoop, portion out meat and place on baking sheet.
After all meatballs have been scooped onto tray, roll into balls.

COOK'S NOTE: If you lightly wet your hands the meatballs will form better and crack less.
