These hearty meatballs are a family favorite and a big hit wherever they go! In their delicious barbecue sauce, they're a perfect dish to pass and also work well as hors d'oeuvres. —Jane Barta, St. Thomas, North Dakota

This recipe is one of my family's favorite for any get together. My son has friends come when they hear mom's fixing meatballs. My daughter wants them for her graduation party. I like this recipe because you can make the meatballs up way ahead of time and freeze them until your ready to bake them.
