Place meatballs on a parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet. Now place meatballs three across and continue to fill the baking sheet until it's full.
Bake about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and check to see that the internal, middle part of the meatball is 165 degrees.
Bake the remainder of the meatballs until all are cooked.
Serve immediately or allow to cool to refrigerate or freeze.
Frying method
Start by using a heavy bottom skillet. Heat olive oil until you see a little shimmer in the oil. Add the meatballs one a time making sure you don't crowd them.
Rotate them every 1-2 minutes to they brown evenly.
Once they are cooked through, place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the extra oil. Repeat until all the meatballs are fried.
Again, internal doneness should be 165 degrees in the middle of the meatball.
Serve immediately or allow to cool for freezing.
