So easy and delicious! My mother used to make these when I was a kid. They were my absolute favorite. Definitely recommend!

These are fantastic. I took ground beef from the freezer and wasn't sure what percentage lean it was so I put the meatballs in the oven without the sauce for 1/2 hour then scooped the grease out before adding the sauce. I will make these again and I think I will add a little green bell pepper to the sauce. Made for New Kids On The Block tag game.
