That recipe is awsome, the meatballs are so delicious and easy to do!<br/>The meat and the filling go well together and finishing them in the oven makes them stay juicy and soft. A great way for making them, they came out wonderfully!<br/>Served next to veggies, salad or home made fried, its just a dream!<br/>Thanks for sharing!
