I forgot to buy an extra can of cream of mushroom soup, and the soup mix (oops), so I tried the recipe without it..it came out great! I did add about 1/3 cup of beef gravy to the one can of soup to make a bit of extra sauce ..came out tasting really good. I also added a small can of chopped mushrooms (we love mushrooms). I do suggest adding 1cup water to the cans of soup before adding to the pan..it mixes up better. Overall, It was a very delicious meal..my husband really liked it! Thanks

A nice tribute to her mother. I was confused by the instructions to put the water into the meatballs and then again into the mushroom sauce. I was worried that the meatballs might be too soft...but since I used 90% lean meat they were perfect. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt since I knew the meatballs would be too salty for me with the salt already in the dry onion soup mix. I made small meatballs for the two of us and froze 2/3 of them for future use. This was very good. Made for PAC Fall 2009. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=310505&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0http:
