This is my go-to recipe for a potluck when I know I will not have a lot of time for cooking that day. I have made these several times and always get lots of complements on them. I am making them again on Tuesday for a Valentine's Potluck at Church.

This recipe is so tasty and easy. I've made these for holidays, baby showers and potlucks and they are always a big hit.

This was a nice simple dish to make for my potlock at work. It because a favorite. I personally like my meatballs a bit sweeter but aside from that it was well worth it. I would make this again.
