Add the ground beef to the bowl and mix everything together
Use a large scoop to scoop meatballs onto a rimmed baking sheet. Alternatively, you can use your hands to form the balls.
Mix the 4 tablespoons melted butter with the 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs in a small bowl.
Spoon the butter mixture evenly over the meatballs.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
Serve, drizzled with butter and juices from the bottom of the pan.
