"Make a double batch and keep some in the freezer for busy cold nights. Make extra sauce for dipping! From Ree Drummond's episode Potluck Sunday, this has many excellent reviews!"

You can make meatballs 1000 different ways. Well this is a good one, very flavorful and everything you want out of a meatball. Thanks for the recipe!!!

When I added the cup of milk to the meat, I thought it was too liquid. So it really has to be in the fridge to firm up. Finally the meatballs turned out moist and tasty with the sauce. My son liked them a lot. Thanks Sharon :) Made for PRMR tag game
