Instructions
Mix ingredients together in a bowl well. Make into round 1.5" balls and place on non stick baking sheet.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly browned on the inside and cooked in the middle.
Remove and serve or if you want to add sauce and serve as an appetizer I would put cooked meatballs into a 9x13 dish. Then pour desired sauce on top, enough to cover them all well, bake for an additional 10 minutes so they can soak up the sauce. Then serve with toothpicks
