Old Style Sunday Meatballs

Diamond Joe's Note:

Another old time favorite. I don't measure so these are approximate. Adjust to taste. The only things I measure are the cheese and breadcrumbs. Try with my marinara sauce.

I made these with all beef no pork. They were very simple & easy to make. I love the idea of baking them in the oven. Made for PAC Fall 09

Oh, my, how do I even describe how good these were?? I hadn't even put them in the oven, and they were filling my kitchen with their savory smell. My kids were going crazy waiting for dinner! I served them with your scrumptious marinara sauce and they were fabulous! These were easy and wonderful, thanks so much!
