Step 1. Prepare Meatballs. Preheat oven to 400 F. Pour milk in a medium bowl and add breadcrumbs. Mix and set aside until breadcrumbs are soft. In a blender or food processor combine an onion, an egg and spices. Combine breadcrumbs, spice mixture and ground meat and mix well. Create meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) and arrange them in a greased baking sheet (make sure it has raised edges so the juices won’t run over. Bake for about 15-18 minutes.
