Our kids—Garrett, 10, and Heather, 5—love to roll the ground beef and pork mixture into these moist meatballs. We enjoy them prepared in a creamy gravy. But the frozen meatballs also are great additions to soups and stews, or to stir into spaghetti sauce and serve over pasta. —Stacy Thomas Anchorage, Alaska

One of my family's all-time Taste of Home favorites! It is highly yummy, and I love how I get two batches from one preparation. The meatballs freeze beautifully and are a snap to get to the table. This is a winner!

Excellent recipe. My daughter enjoyed helping me shape the meatballs. I might cut back on the amount of onion powder and add a chopped onion to the meat ball mix next time, but other than that I'd make no changes. Try serving it over mashed potatoes instead of noodles.
