3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
4. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
5. Bake the Meatballs: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
