Make sure there is a good hunger going on before you make this recipe. It's filing, tasty and so easy to make a six year old could do it. I like making the meatballs small so that there's plenty to go around. I make this for potlucks or as an appetizer sometimes and many of my friends have asked me to share the recipe.
