  • To Make The Meatballs
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix first 9 ingredients together in a large pan. Using your hands, gently mix the ingredient until well blended.
  • Again, using your hands, form into balls about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
  • Place the meatballs on two 9 x 13 baking dishes, sprayed with no-stick spray or covered in aluminum foil.
  • Cover liberally with sauce and bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until meatballs are done. (time depends on meatball size)
  • This makes around 90 meatballs.
