Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Preheat oven to 425°. Either spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or use parchment paper.
Combine all of the ingredient in a large bowl. When fully incorporated, grab small handfuls and roll into meatballs. I get about 15 golf ball-sized meatballs.
Bake meatballs on baking sheet for 20 minutes.
These meatballs are great with pasta, served as appetizers with toothpicks, or on hoagie rolls for meatball subs with marinara and cheese! Enjoy!
