Italian Meat Balls
Recipes » Appetizers » Meat
This is my mother's recipe for meatballs. They freeze well and leftovers make good meatball sandwiches served on Bollillo's toped with sauce and Provolone cheese.
"It is a great dish. I found it here and using it since. I usually either mix beef and pork or make it just from pork, because it makes meat ball more soft and delicious! Thank you" - Diamonddi25Yield: 6 Ready in 1 hours, 30 minutes

This sauce would be great substituted for the Prego sauce mentioned in the recipe. -
