Add the ground beef and mix gently with your hands until just combined, do not overwork.

Turn the oven to broil.

Use a cookie scoop to portion out the meatballs, weighing 2 oz per ball and place on a baking sheet. Continue until all meatballs are done. Spray lightly with the avocado oil.

Transfer to the oven and broil for six to seven minutes, until lightly browned on top.

Meanwhile, heat a large dutch oven, or skillet over medium and pour in the sauce. Bring to a low simmer.

Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the sauce and cover with a lid. Let them simmer and cook for nine to ten minutes, until cooked through.
