A wonderful all-purpose meatball to use in a variety of recipes! Easy to make, and with ingredients usually on hand. The yield is based on 1-1/2" meatballs, but you can make them smaller. I get about forty-eight 1" meatballs out of this same recipe.

- Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Using your hands (you can use gloves), combine everything together until just mixed. Cover and place in the fridge for 20 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375F if cooking in the oven. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Use a 2 tablespoon volume cookie scoop to form the meatballs and place the amount you want to cook directly on the sheet pan, about one inch apart (I usually cook half and freeze half). If you use a smaller scooper, reduce cooking time by a couple minutes.
- Place fresh meatballs into the oven and cook for 20-23 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
- Place fresh meatballs into the air fryer basket in a single layer, not touching each other. Air fry for 9-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
