Step 2: Shape The Meatballs

Shaping the meatballs is a fun and simple step. Just grab a handful of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Aim for a size that’s easy to pop in your mouth, about the size of a golf ball. This ensures they cook evenly and stay juicy. Once you have them all shaped, they’re ready for baking!
