Mix the beef, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, garlic powder, green onions and 2 tablespoons cheese thoroughly in a large bowl. Shape firmly into 30 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs.

Stir the salsa in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
