Remove pan as soon as butter is completely melted & place meatballs in the pan (roll meatballs in butter); pan should be covered end to end with 10 to 13 meatballs (or however many desired or able to make), & then sprinkle just enough frozen peas to cover the pan as well end to end... do not need a whole lot of peas just a little; place pan back in oven.
