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 made this recipe many, many years ago (maybe 30 years ago) when it was first featured in "Farm Wife News". My family could not figure out the stringy ingrediant (sauerkraut) but once they did realize that was the end of serving it again. It has been a reason to recall & chuckle for many years ~ but I was dicouraged from preparing it again. I thought it was a wonderful combination of flavors, however. I may have to try it out again. Maybe their taste buds have matured. :-)

This recipe is delicious and sooo easy! I always use the frozen meatballs that are ANGUS. They are 1000% better than just the plain ones that taste like they are full of fillers.

First had these at a family party - awesome! Even my 6 year old granddaughter loved them! So easy and so delish!

The first time I made these I did use the store bought meatballs. I didn't like the meatballs. I made them again with homemade meatballs and they were wonderful! Would reccomend making your own meatballs from scratch.

I've been mking these for years. I use Bavarian saurkraut (it's a little sweeter) and call them Bavarian meatballs. You can also do them on the stove in about an hour.

Took the meatballs to a potluck dinner and received several compliments. Even our 6 year old granddaughter said it was a keeper.

This is my favorite meatball recipe! I made these for the Christmas party at work and got rave reviews. My coworkers asked me to make them again for a potluck! They are even better reheated the next day, after sitting in the sauce all night in the fridge.

These are the best meatballs I've ever tasted. I forgot to add the brown sugar and didn't miss it.
