Combine meat with all ingredients in large bowl. Shape into 3/4 to 1″ mini meatballs. Spray pan and heat over medium high flame. Add meatballs. Brown each side. Adjust heat to medium so your meatballs don’t burn. Flip them one or two times while cooking. When cooked through, drain any liquid if necessary. Pierce each meatball with a skewer.
