In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together with clean hands. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Scoop out a bit of mixture and roll in the palm of your hand until you have a rounded ball of meat, approximately 1 inch or less. Place on a foil lined cookie sheet. Repeat until you have used all of the meat mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (yes, just 15 minutes, the will cook longer when you add them to the spaghetti sauce). Remove from oven and add them to the Down Home Spaghetti Sauce. Cook in sauce at least 3 hours or until they reach an internal temperature above 160 degrees. Remove from sauce with slotted spoon and serve. Serve with spaghetti sauce and noodles or on buns as a meatball sub.
