Recipe Note

This was always a favorite of mine while growing up. Loved to go to Grandma's when she was making this meatball dish. Never thought to get the recipe before she passed away. Lucky for me, while visiting my dad, I asked him about it, and he had me make them. Tasted just like I remembered. Add my cucumbers and sour cream recipe (also from Grandma), some mashed potatoes and string beans or corn on the side, and you have a great meal.
