Using a small cookie scoop to shape them helps. Arrange the meatballs on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 1 minute.Combine the sauce in a serving dish with the meatballs and serve immediately as an appetizer, or serve with rice and a side vegetable for a meal.
