The ideal size of a meatball depends on personal preference, the dish you are making, and any cultural traditions. Typically, meatballs fall within the range of 1 to 3 ounces (28 to 85 grams).   Smaller 1-ounce meatballs are considered mini meatballs and used in appetizers, soups, or as toppings in pizza and on pasta dishes. These bite-sized meatballs cook quickly. One-and-a-half-ounce to 2-ounce meatballs are usually used in spaghetti and meatballs, meatball subs, and as a side to pasta. They can be considered a main course. Larger meatballs are 2.5 to 3 ounces. These are used for dishes where a single meatball is the focus. These types of meatballs are often stuffed with other ingredients for a heartier meal. This recipe makes a 2-ounce meatball which can be part of a main meal or as a side dish.  The best size is up to you to determine. Experiment with different sizes to find what works best for your taste and the specific recipe.
