To prepare these beef meatballs, you can cook them in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For a quick meal, you can add them directly to your favorite marinara or other sauce and let them simmer until heated through and the flavors have melded. They are also excellent added to soups or stews.
