Expert Tips

Handle meatballs as little as possible when forming them to keep them moist and tender.

This mouthwatering sauce is just as scrumptious when used with prepared frozen meatballs or smoked cocktail sausages.

These are the best! I had them at a holiday party at work and couldn't believe the ingredients. Whenever I make them for a holiday or birthday party they are gone within a few minutes. Just delicious!

My mom used to make these since I was a kid, as she did many recipes from her BC cookbook. I've made them several times now, and they always get great feedback. And it is true, just not the same with frozen meatballs...it's worth the time and effort making them from scratch.
