Grandma Rita's Meatballs

This is my MIL's meatballs - which she made for her family of three boys - thus the reason the meatballs were made so big! Now I make these for my three boys. One of my husband's favorite meals served with boiled potatoes. Is a fairly quick fixing/hearty meal for weeknight!

We just loved the meatballs and gravy...Great flavor and Meatballs were super also. I drained fat from the skillet and deglazed the pan and added the soup. Wonderful gravy and meatballs with boiled potatoes and Green Beans rounding out this wonderful meal. I sure will make this again. Keeper for us. Thank You.Reply
