Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding herbs such as oregano or basil to the tomato sauce.
  • Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatballs and ensure they are cooked through before serving.
  • If you prefer your meatballs a bit spicier, add some red pepper flakes to the mixture before forming them into balls.
  • Feel free to double the recipe and freeze the extra meatballs for later use. They can be frozen in a sealed container for up to three months!
