I tried these meatballs at a birthday party for a friend, and now I make them all the time. They are super easy to make and perfect for a potluck or a Sunday afternoon football game. —Lisa Castelli, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin

I've had this receipe for years. I make my own meatballs with ground turkey and it tastes great and a little healthier.

This recipe is simple, yet a great combination of ingredients. I took these to my job for our Halloween Potluck and they were a HUGE hit! Several people asked for the recipe. I didn?t change a thing to the recipe and there were no leftovers to bring home. Delish!

These are excellent. I knew when I read the recipe it would be a keeper and it is! I didn't change anything and they were a big hit.

I used fresh made cranberry sauce. Definately a keeper. Even the kids liked it.

Since 'stringy' sauerkraut seems to be an issue, has anyone tried putting it through a food processor before adding to sauce to have the flavor without the strings?

I received this same exact recipe ~30 years ago when our family was in the Air Force. I've made it literally hundreds of times. Every single time I make it or include it in a potluck I end up giving out the recipe to 2-3 people. It is such a fabulous crowd pleaser. Costco's frozen meatballs are the best to use but almost any grocer has frozen cocktail meatballs. All 3 of our kids also have used the same recipe over and over for their friends after having these while growing up. It is more than just a keeper!

Ok I though eew this can't be right but now that I saw all the reviews I am going to have to try them!

I make the same receipe but don't include the sauerkraut or brown suger and it's a big hit wherever i go. Some people just don't like the texture of the sauerkraut.
