Easy to make and my family loved them. I substituted ground pork for the ground beef and they tasted great!

These meatballs-were relatively easy to make, and they tasted great. I added them to a marinara sauce. I love that they are cooked via baking rather pan-frying, as this is a much simpler and less messy preparation. They are well seasoned, too.
