Easy Oven Baked Meatballs

Meatballs are versatile and packed with flavors. This is based on a recipe that our dad's friend Steven recommended (thank you for giving us this delicious recipe). Did you know that many believe that meatballs originated in ancient Persia? It is fascinating to know the background of certain dishes, and learn how each cultures have their own way of making them. We hope you enjoy this recipe like we did.
