Greek Meatballs

by

These meatballs are great for any meal or occasion, but my favorite reason to make these is for leftovers!  Meatballs are a great protein option to make ahead and pack for lunch.  They are delicious with fresh spinach salads, pasta salads, or just sliced cucumbers.  I love to serve these little guys with fresh tzatziki!
