- Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
- Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork: This will give the meatballs a more flavorful and moist texture.
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese: This will help to bind the meatballs together and add a delicious cheesy flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and oregano will add a pop of flavor to the meatballs.

- Form the meatballs into small, 1-inch balls: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet before baking them: This will give them a nice browned crust and help to keep them moist.
- Bake the meatballs in a sauce: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables: They are also great as an appetizer or snack.
