Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or add an oven-safe wired rack on top
In a large bowl, combine the meatball ingredients and mix all together (I use meat-handling gloves and my hands)
Form into equal sized meatballs (about 2 tablespoons each) and add to baking sheet
Bake in oven on middle rack for about 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked through (165 degrees F)
Meanwhile, begin making the sauce by melting the butter in a large skillet
Add garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds
Add in the cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, broth and milk and mix
Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally as the sauce starts to golden around edges and reduce a bit
Remove meatballs from oven and add meatballs to sauce and stir into the sauce and coat the meatballs with the sauce
Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for about 10 minutes or so so the sauce thickens a bit and the meatballs simmer in it for flavor
Garnish with fresh basil leaves with rice, pasta or as is
