Meatballs: Splash a little cold water on your hands before shaping the meatballs. The heat in your hands is what causes the mixture to stick, cooling your hands down will make sure that the beef holds onto itself rather than you.

Meatballs: Make sure that you mix everything through in the meatball mixture you will have to redo all of them if you miss an ingredient or do not mix it together well enough.

Baking: You want to make sure you put the beans and the meatballs on 2 separate baking sheets because you should not have raw meat touching anything.
