Very good meatballs! I served them with crusty bread and steamed broccoli instead of making a hoagie. I plan to try them over spaghetti. I highly recommend.

I first found this recipe in the Taste of Home Potluck cookbook, which is a really great book. The fact that hubby and I, make our sauce our own way, is irrelevant. The meatballs are the stars here and they are absolutely fantastic. Simple ingredients, simple process, simply delicious. Far better than any meatballs I have ever eaten out. Also, since they are baked, they are less greasy and messy than stove top versions- Baking also allows you to tend to making pasta and or garlic bread while they are in the oven rather than watch them. When we eat them on rolls, I lightly toast the bread in the broiler and top with provolone or mozzarella before adding the meatballs and sauce. Amazing with ground beef or turkey. Yum!
