These meatballs are great. Good in subs, spaghetti etc. To answer the chili sauce question from below, Heinz makes a version. In our local stores it's usually with the worcestershire sauce. And as for the servings question, I think the reason that information wasn't given was because the meatballs can be used for various reasons. If serving with pasta you wouldn't need as many but for subs you would need more. I think they were reasoning that common sense would tell you how many to take from the freezer depending on what you were serving and how many people were there. Hope that helps! :)

I was looking around at other cooking sites and was basically disapointed. I've rarely been able to make a meatball that was'nt hard and dry, but this recipe was terrific. The meatballs were tasty, moist and firm but not at all chewey. I loved it. ( as for those that want to know how many to serve I would ask how many do you want to eat. This recipe makes 30 meat balls,why not serve the meatballs seperately in a bowl and let your adult friends and family help themselves to what they want, as for kids, how fat do you want them to be? I find three is plently for most kids).

I think this is a must try for anyone, it is a great, fabulous, wonderful recipe. I, as most, make a few changes, but don't change anything on this recipe till you have made it, very good. I always use two eggs per pound of meat and I only use ground meat that is only 7% fat. Instead of milk, I buy a can/jar of pasta sauce of choice and add 3/4 cup per 1 1/4 pound of ground meat. I also like to add some finely chopped cilantro, but you should use parsley, less you know already. I use the finely chopped onions and I also add at least one finely minced garlic clove to mine. And I use the Italian Style Progresso Bread Crumbs (love them), but I only use 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup Kretschmer Wheat Germ (love it also). The big surprise is the mozzerella cheese stuffed inside.... whether meat balls or muffin sized meat loaves, you will love it. Make sure you use good quality cheese that melts well. I buy the big chunks and cut into tiny squares, so I have enough to eat while I cook the meatballs. I just love cheese..... oh yeah, then you have enough pasta sauce to coat the meatballs for appetizers or your main course.... you will love either this original or my version.

How many does this recipe serve? This is important and has been puzzling me. It sounds delicious, but not all families are the same size and not all cooks would make this for the same number of diners. HELP? For this reason, I may keep looking for a recipe for meatballs that DOES have the serving number.

This recipe seems to be okay but in trying to figure out how many it feeds, it comes up BLANK. At the bottom of the page it has nutritional information for one serving, but nowhere on the page does it indicate how many it serves. How are we supposed to figure this one out?

These meatballs came out great -- will definitely make them again and again! I added a can of diced Italian tomatoes and a fresh, chopped roma tomato along with some cabernet marina. Yum!

Really enjoyed and highly recommend. I took the advice from another fellow rater and added the beef and onion soup mix in with the sauce. It definitely reduced the sweetness of the sauce and tasted great!!!

Those were the best meatballs! (It says it makes 30 but I think I made about 22.)

These were really good. The only thing that I changed with the sauce was to add a packet of Lipton beefy onion soup mix. (I wanted to tone down the sweetness and the tomato taste.) It was really good. We used these to make meatball sandwiches. My super picky husband even went back for seconds.
