Add a more bread crumbs if needed to bind these; they will be light and will firm up a bit in the oven while they cook.Microwave a small amount to taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.Form into meatballs and bake on non-stick spray prepared foil until cooked through. I make 1 1/2 inch meatballs, because that's the size my ice cream scooper makes, and I bake them at 350 for about 40 minutes. If you want to make a meatloaf with this, bake it for an hour.
