I tried these tonight. I used a digital scale to make 1 oz meatballs the recipe yielded about 40 - 44. There was some left over I couldn't fit all of them in the pans I had. My family and I liked the overall flavor, the only change I would make would be to reduce the amount of black pepper. After about the third meatball you could really feel and taste it. Thank you for this recipe I will use it again.
