Directions

  1. Step 1 Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  2. Step 2 Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
  3. Step 3 Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
  4. Step 4 Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
  5. Step 5 After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
  6. Step 6 **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
