"This recipe relies on ingredients we always have on hand and doesn't dirty many dishes," reports Sheryl Ludeman of Kenosha, Wisconsin. "While the tender meatballs cook in the microwave, boil the noodles on the stovetop to get this saucy entree on the table in minutes," she suggests.

I loved it! So did my little dog. I gave her a meatball and she gobbled it up. I cooked them in the oven, like someone suggested in the reviews and added a dry onion soup mix to the sauce ingredients. It was a little too oniony, so next time I will only use half the package of dry onion soup. Then it should be perfect. And easy...so easy.

The recipe was very simple and I really had everything I needed without paying a visit to the market. I used ground Turkey and added a package of Lipton Beefy onion soup. It was delicious!!

Really easy- like everyone else has said it could use a little seasoning.

Very good... I added a bit more seasoning to the meatballs and the sauce but all around very very good!

Actually, found this recipe a number of years ago and have made it often. Because of the ease and the final taste of these meatballs I'd have to say it's a winner. Have made only the meatballs with sauce and taken to parties as an appetizer and have gotten rave reviews for it. Try it....you'll love it !

Instead of microwaving, I bake in the oven on 375 for 45-60 minutes. My boyfriend will literally eat an entire batch of these meatballs!

I agree with Abby, a little extra on the seasoning...but all in all...this was a hit with my hubby!

I loved this recipe!! The meatballs are great- would probably add a bit more seasoning overall- but the whole family enjoyed this meal
