"A moist rich tasting meatball with a smooth creamy sauce that get devoured every time. I have served these over buttered noodles or made double batches and bought to potluck dinners and they disappear.I have used ground turkey and it works nicely too!"

What a delicious dish!! It was so easy to prepare. I took it to a potluck and it disappeared so quickly, people wanted the recipe and were suprised to find that it had applesauce in it. I would definitely make again.

<img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> I work in a hospital as a Unit Secretary in a Cardiology Unit. It is such a busy, fast paced job that there are times I come home drained. I have learned to make fast easy meals from Recipezaar and save the more complicated ones for my days off. My husband is in the Army and was away for a year and now is stationed so far that he comes home on Friday nights and goes back Monday mornings. So I always like to have some nice meals waiting for him. I always say it is like we are dating again. Since we only see eachother on weekends I try to impress him with a nice homecooked meal when he gets home. He usually eats at the mess hall. Other nights we will go out to dinner and a movie. I have one son who has been my Rock of Gibraltar through this. so some of meals are geared towards his tastes. He works and goes to college so I try to sneak a special meal in for him when he is home. Which isn't too often. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing some of mine.
