   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

   Oil your hands and roll mixture into meatballs of desired size, ideally smaller than a golf ball. Place meatballs on a sheet pan.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are hot, about 10 minutes. Let cool briefly.

6. 6

   Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add oil. Cook and stir meatballs, about 10 at a time, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
