Directions:

Combine all meatball ingredients in large bowl.
Mix well with hands, but do not over work.
Let rest in fridge for a couple hours, or, just at room temperature.
Form mixture into about 1T(I use my cookie scoop) sized balls and place on wire rack over cookie sheet, or similar set up.
Bake at 350 for about 17-20 minutes, just until cooked through.
Serve with toothpicks or skewers with the dipping sauce.
