Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Place all ingredients except oil in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Use hands to divide and shape mixture into 50 very small balls or 25 regular sized meat balls (i prefer 25-more moist). Refrigerate for 15 or more minutes. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the meatballs turning them frequently. Fry until lightly brown about 5. Put in ovenproof dish (Pyrex); cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Use red sauce and serve over your favorite pasta.
