EXPERT TIPS

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!
