"Plan ahead the beef mixture needs to be chilled for at least 8-24 hours before shaping and cooking, or you may shape into meatballs and then refrigerate which ever works the best for you, I would suggest to double up leaving the garlic amount the same (6 medium cloves) cause these are really good, 1 1/2 pounds should give you about 15-17 meatballs depending on the size you shape them"
