  2. In a large bowl, mix together the beef, eggs, ketchup (tomato sauce), Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs and onion. Use a small cookie scoop ( 1 ½ tablespoon capacity) to roll into small meatballs. (Arrange onto prepared baking sheet as you go.)
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once while cooking.
