Notes

*This recipe is a big batch for a family of 4. Make batch and freeze leftovers for a meal in a few weeks. Set frozen meatballs the night before in refrigerator to thaw. Make another batch of sauce for meatballs. To heat up, use microwave, or low broil.
*I like to use a combo of beef and pork or beef and turkey.
*The egg mixture can be made ahead to save time.
