These are honestly the best meatballs i have ever made/tasted. This was the first recipe i tried from recipezaar and it is still one of my favorites. Even my boyfriend was raving to his friends about these meatballs. LOL

I made these as an entree to have with Mediterranean Rice. My DS and I both loved these meatballs with such a nice surprise in the middle! These would be great as an appetizer for your next get together with friends or family for the holidays. Thank you for sharing with us Lainey! Made for Zaar Stars.
