This was a really good use of frozen meatballs that I had leftover. It was surprisingly flavorful and filling.

This has become my go to meal. I always make sure that I have the ingredients on hand. It is great with biscuits. It is definately a comfort food ranked right up there with chicken noodle soup. Everyone i have fixed this for loves it.
