I have been making these for years and they are my family's hands-down favorite. I serve them over rice as an entree. I have to triple the recipe and there are still no leftovers! -
Nice change from the normal party type meatballs. We all liked it.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Connecticut with my husband of 23 years, three teenage children and our American Eskimo dog named Daisy. My husband and I love to try new recipes. We have one child that is an extremely picky eater, so we only try new dishes when she is not home. The other two will at least try new things and sometimes they like it and sometimes they don't. At least they try.
