How To Make tiny little meatballs !

Step 1

Mix all together very well. Leave sit in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Using a teaspoon, make 1/2 - inch size meat balls. Put them in a skillet with a little olive oil. Cook until browned. Set on a baking sheet, when baking sheet is full, put it in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Repeat until all are done.
Step 3

**** Let cool. Put some into 1 quart zipper bags. Freeze. When you need them, thaw completely before useing.
Step 4

**** Use these meatballs on pizzas, in spaghetti, or in soups. **** My 3 year old grandson likes to make "baby meatball sandwiches"
