Expert Tips

Accompany this appetizer with thin slices of toasted French bread to catch the sauce when serving at holiday parties or any time of year.

Evenly shaped meatballs are easy when you pat the meat mixture into the baking dish and cut into 6 rows by 5 rows. Roll the squares into balls and return to the dish to bake.

I forgot to add...I use ground turkey. Also, when the meatballs are ready to go in the oven, I pour tomato sauce over them and I don't use extra water, just the sauce. Makes an easy meal.

Growing up, my mother would make this at least once a month. We all loved it. I make it a lot. I double the recipe, use bread crumbs instead of cereal and instead of 30 small meatballs, i make 8 large meatballs, just like mom.
