Serve with mushroom gravy or spaghetti sauce.

Go ahead and try other types of cheese in this recipe. Mozzarella cheese works great if you are serving spaghetti and meatballs.

I LOVED these! I do wish I would've read the previous comments before I made them. Definitely would've used smaller or ground nuts and added more spices for flavor. I didn't think they were overly dry and the texture was impressive. My meat-eating, protein lovin' husband loved them, but my son didn't appreciate the 'crunch' from the pecans. I'm a vegetarian and will use this recipe for my family and for company!

These sounded really good and I think would probably have worked with the original Potato Buds. Unfortunately, using Betty Crocker's new version gave the meatballs a funny smell and taste, and a very gummy consistency.

I make these "meatballs" for every holiday party and they are always a hit. For options, try serving them as an appetizer with dipping sauces such as sweet & Sour and BBQ sauce, your guests will love them!
