Cooking instructions

* Step 1

preheat oven to 350 and spray cookie sheet with cooking spray

add all ingredients to large bowl and mix well with washed hands to incorporate. start with 3/4 cup of milk and if it feels dry or sticky, add a little more at a time until they are the proper consistency

* Step 3

roll meatballs in your hands gently. i make mine about walnut size and end up with about 35.

* Step 4

place on cookie sheet with about a 1/2 inch space between each

* Step 5

cook for about 20 minutes, until lite golden brown. they are done when you can pick one up with a tong and it doesnt fall apart

i always make a big pot of sauce the same day i make the meatballs, and just plop them in when they are done and let them add to the flavor of the sauce
