Technically these meatballs take more than 20 minutes but they are a great meal prep or make-ahead meal. My favorite way of serving these meatballs is cut in half in a pita pocket with The Farm at Red Hill Creamy Dill Sauce or Tzatziki Sauce. I usually pair this with my Easy Greek Salad which adds both color and crunch. They also freeze well.
