I want to thank you so much for adding your recipe. (I'm almost in tears) My mother's spaghetti recipe was almost exactly like this (with the saltines in the meatballs) and she made huge meatballs. I have all her recipes but I guess this is one she knew by heart. I will try and make this asap. Hope I do it justice.

All other meatball recipe's use bread crumbs and during cooking the meat still falls apart. The crushed saltines idea has been the perfect one so far. Thank you Mrs. McGhee and TOH for printing this one. ;)

These are the best meatballs I have ever made. I didn't have saltines so used breadcrumbs and they were delicious! Even my kids liked them and they HATE my meatballs! Thank you!!
