“Divide meat into 4-5 sections and form each section into a meat ball.”
:?:

Do you mean that 2 lbs. of meat makes 4 to 5 meatballs?

About how many meatballs go into the 9 x 13 pan? What size do you make them? 1", 2" ?

Thanks!

The meat balls are supposed to be bigger than usual but unlikely to be that large. This recipe is just as I found it. I would do 6 if I wanted 1/3 pound and 8 if I wanted quarter pounders.
