This is from the November/December issue of Quick Cooking and my husband, who is not usually a meatball fan, absolutely loves these. I've made them more times than I can count for our family and for guests.

Great meatballs. I used milk instead of evaporated milk and also used the optional liquid smoke. It adds a wonderful taste to the sauce. Thanks for posting. Made for Name that ingredient tag game

Easy to do and came out sweet, tender, and beautiful. The entire tray of glistening meatballs is a sight to see! My DH loved these, too. Made for Pick A Chef, April 09.
