Important Recipe Notes

- Make sure to press the meatballs slightly before baking so they cook evenly.
- You can replace hamburger seasoning for your favorite blend of spices if you prefer.
- Put the toothpicks—they make these bites easy to serve and eat!
- For extra flavor, try adding a little finely chopped onion or worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture.
- These bites are best served fresh and warm, but you can reheat them gently in the oven.
- You can customize it with your favorite burger toppings like ketchup, mustard, or pickles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
