3. Form balls with the meat mixture with your hands or a cookie scoop. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
4. Heat some oil on a large skillet. Brown the meatballs on all sides until the meatballs are cooked through. Remove from the saucepan and set aside.

6. Place the meatballs in the sauce and cook until the meatballs are heated through.
