Easy Creamy Porcupine Meatballs

Jennibear's Note:

Most people make these in tomato soup. I had started making it one day before I realized I didn't have any tomato soup - so I tried it with Campbells Cream of Celery soup... it was wonderful! You can also use Cream of Mushroom soup. Makes it creamy and yummy. I won't go back to tomato sauce... I also stir in a can of green beans at the end of cooking...it's like meatballs AND green bean casserole. Yum.

Man! These were awesome! We absolutely loved them, and they are going into my regular recipe rotation, FOR SURE. Made for Spring PAC 2010 ;-)

Made for Fall 09 PAC This is the answer to a problem I have been having. Love Porcupine Meatballs but can't eat tomato. Very easy to make, and tasty comfort food for a day that was spent stacking 6 cord of firewood. Thank you so much for a lovely recipe.

These were so simple to prepare. My husband had recently requested meatballs and he was very pleased with this recipe. I'm sure I'll be making these often! Made for PAC Fall '09.
