"These delicious meatballs were favorites of my kids when they were growing up. Simple and tasty they made good use of what was usually in my larder. "Cheap and Cheerful", they were economical as well."

Mom made this when I was a kid - I loved it then, and I love it now. Simple with very flavorful results.

LOVED THESE MEATBALLS! I always look for new ground meat recipes. I've made this recipe using ground beef, ground turkey, and also ground pork. Any ground meat works with the recipe. Instead of breadcrumbs one time I used one slice of whole wheat bread and other times I used one slice of 9 grain bread.Thank you for posting such an amazing recipe.

I don't often cook with canned soup, but this is a really good recipe. It's simple to make and tasty. Next time I might grill the meatballs first to get rid of even more fat. I might also add some fresh siliced mushrooms and maybe a few peas to the sauce. Thanks for sharing!
