2 tbsp. matzo meal

Nothing could be easier – or better!

Cooking Tips from Norene:

To shape meatballs easily, wet your hands for easier handling.

When mixing ingredients together for ground meat mixture, don’t overmix or meatballs will be tough.

Meatballs freeze beautifully. I like to store them in single serving-size freezer containers. Smaller containers defrost more quickly than larger ones.
