Random Advice: If your raw meatballs are ugly and not perfectly round - they will NOT look any better after you cook them. I was hoping they would magically look perfect after baking - but they don't -- Still ugly. Shape your meatballs with care. Don't worry - the sauce will cover them!
Line your baking sheet with foil for easy clean up.
I don't like to touch raw meat - so I wear two sandwich baggies on my hands when rolling balls since I don't have plastic kitchen gloves. We also use a potato masher to mix up everything. I know hands work better - but I just won't touch it. I don't like other people touching my food either -- just sayin!
You can cry a little about your delicious meatballs -- now go and enjoy!
