I love meatballs, but when a recipe calls for browning them on the stove, I have my own trick which is much less messy and I don't have to stand there turning the little buggers. I put all of the meatballs in a 13 X 9 pan for a large batch and bake them at 350 degrees F until brown. You can line the pan with foil for easy cleanup and no splatters on the stove!

To save even more time, you can pat out the mixture on a piece of wax paper on the counter into a rectangle and run thru w/ a pizza cutter. A quick roll into balls (or even leave them square, they'll kind of shrink into balls), and you've got equal sized pieces.
When I make Sweet and Sour Meatballs, I put them in a microwave dish,nuke for 10 min, use turkey baster to take out any fat. If need be, I will do this twice before making sauce and baking in oven.
I do this too.
