  1. I used tomato soup instead of tomato sauce.Good flavor and easy to do.The kids and hubby scarfed these right down.I served them with mashed potatoes and corn.Pure comfort food.
     
  2. This was good and quick, but we felt it was missing something. Maybe a little bit of sugar for the sauce? I might try upping the Worcestershire next time too, but we really love the stuff. Thanks for posting.

  4. These reminded me of the meatballs I had when I was growing up, so I was happy to find this recipe. I really enjoyed them, they have a good flavor to them and are easy to make. Mine turned out a little to wet to make into good "ball forms" but I think that was to do with my meat and not the recipe. But b/c of this I increased the amount of rice I used. I also added chopped onion to the mix and more Worcestershire sauce than the recipe called for (personal taste).
     
  5. I have this same recipe that I've been making for years!! We all love it plus it's so easy to make. Great recipe!!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
