The meatballs were very easy to do. They were a bit dry when rolling. But they were perfect at the end. I used italian breadcrumbs. In the sauce I used red bell pepper and more. The sauce is too sweet for me and DH. But my son really liked these meatballs with the sauce. Thanks Blue Rose :) Made for PAC Spring 2012

Originally tagged this recipe so I'd have some meatballs to freeze, & in fact, that's where almost 30 of them ended up! The rest were served as the recipe calls for, with the great tasting BBQ sauce, & I'll definitely be keeping this recipe around to make again! Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These are fabulous! I made them for dinner tonight with your recipe #167241 and it was a great combo. The meatballs were super tender and flavorful. The only change I made was using red bell pepper not green. I think the breadcrumbs could be cut back to 1 cup without a problem. Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for visiting my page.
I am just a simply country girl who like the out doors. You always say you are going to move out of the area when you are young but when you grow up you realize what a life you lived. I personally would rather be outside than in except when I am cooking or quilting but it does not always work that way.

My weight has gotten the best of me. It is time for me to do something before it get way out of hand.
Getting more active on sparkpeople has been an asset to me. I am now working out more and more on my Wii and it shows.
Loosing weight has never been this much fun.
