Once the meat is well mixed take a small amount and roll into a ball that's around 1/2 inch to an inch in diameter. (depends what size of meatballs you want) Place on the baking sheet. Repeat until you have used all of the meat mixture.
Place in the oven to bake for 15 minutes until browned all over and have reached an internal temperature of 165 °F.

Notes
Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to mix the ingredients together with the ground beef. This is my Mom's trick to save her hands from getting sore!
