  3. Place wax paper on a cookie sheet, place balls about 2 inches apart on the wax paper.
  4. Cook meatballs on cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes
  5. While meatballs cook, prepare sauce in a casserole dish
  6. Add water, ketchup, dry mustard, brown sugar, vinnegar, and salt to the casserole dish, mix with a whisk
  7. When meatballs are finished cooking (they do not have to be 100% cooked as they will cook more once put in the sauce), add to the sauce in the casserole dish.

Serve and enjoy! Note: my favorite side with these is rice!
