Instructions

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
4. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
6. Using your hand (see #4 below for a tip) or a large cookie dough scoop, roll up the meat and place on an aluminum foil-lined cookie sheet. I get about 16-18 large meatballs.
8. My uncle taught me that if you oil your hands with olive oil before you roll the meatballs, they are easier to remove from the pan. They also get that delicious golden brown look.
10. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the outsides are golden brown and the pink on the inside disappears.
12. Drop them into your sauce or plate and cover with sauce. Try my mom’s homemade sweet Italian sausage sauce!
