Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  • Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  • While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
