I made these last year for a work get together because I did not have a lot of time and did not want to spend a lot of money. I used store bought frozen packaged meatballs about 64 of them. I doubled the ingredients for the sauce added the frozen meatballs in the morning, @ 12 noon I had an appetizer that was wiped out by my co-workers. I am making again for our get together this year.
