My boys loved snacking on these meatballs every single time they were at my mother-in-laws house. She shared the recipe with me so I could try them at home and they were so easy to make and are always a hit for dinner or as an appetizer for parties!
**Be sure to cook long enough to prevent being raw in the middle**
STORAGE OF MEATBALLS:
You can even make these meatballs and freeze them for later. I only recommend freezing them for up to 6 months max. The defrost well in pasta sauce and then would be ready for some noodles of your choice.
COURSE & OPTIONS FOR ITALIAN MEATBALLS:
This recipe for homemade Italian meatballs can be used as an appetizer or as a main course meal. There are so many different ways that you can use these meatballs! My kids love having them with pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. Sometimes as an appetizer I make them into mini-meatball sandwiches on Hawaiian Sweet Rolls or Sweet and Sour Meatballs. I have also used these to make lasagna. The options are endless!

Now that my daughter has decided she likes meatballs, I‘ve been on the hunt for a good meatball recipe. Most are too dry or the balls fall apart. I‘m going to give this one a try!
