  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon Greek oregano

  2. Add ground meat and mix thoroughly.
  3. Tear off pieces of meat and form into meatballs that are about 1-inch in diameter.
  4. Place meatballs on a sheet pan or baking pan and press gently yet firmly with your hand to form what should be a small meat patty with a slight curve or hump (like a golf ball cut in half, flattened slightly).
  5. Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. Cool.
