Italian Meatballs Make Any Spaghetti Dish BETTER

Whenever I get asked to bring a meat to a potluck or family gathering, I already know that I am making these. I pretty much always double the recipe unless we are just eating them at home. Once people try one, they are guaranteed to go back for more. These are pretty versatile in terms of what you can do with them, too which is nice. I like mine with BBQ sauce or cream of mushroom. They are good on top of spaghetti or covered in tomato sauce as well.

I’ve made a lot of different kinds of meatballs in my day, but these are the only ones I’m making from now on!

Sounds like a great meatball recipe. I might add about 1/2 tsp. Fennel seed to the recipe. I absolutely hate black licorice but love Fennel seed in recipes. Go figure.
