Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease lightly with cooking spray, set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all of the meatloaf ingredients and mix until evenly incorporated. You don't want to over-mix the meat at this point or you'll end up with dry tough meatballs. Shape and roll into balls about the size of golf balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, mix together all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until well-combined. Remove the meatballs from the oven and then spoon a bit of the sauce over each meatball, making sure the tops are evenly coated in sauce. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake for another 15 minutes.
Serve with mashed potatoes (or roasted potatoes) and your choice of steamed vegetable or salad. I like steamed broccoli, but sautéed peas would be great too! Enjoy!
