DIRECTIONS

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and divide into 1/4 cup portions.  Shape into balls and place on a baking sheet or in a muffin tin.

Bake for 18 minutes, then remove from oven and drain any grease (there won't be much with our super-lean Eden Pure Beef!)

Add a glaze of your favorite tomato sauce if desired and return to the oven for another 5 minutes

Mini Meatball Option:

Make meatballs 2 tablespoons instead of 1/4 cup.  cook in mini muffin tins to help retain roundness. Serve with toothpicks as appetizers.
