Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Notes

Make sure not to overmix the beef mixture, as this can make the meatballs tough. Use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey for a healthier option. Consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers for extra flavor.
