Excellent Meal, Member mrswoodchuck

Let me start by saying that I didn't find it too spicy, nor did I find it bland. Dh and dd were not too sure about this meal. They both loved it. Dd is extremely picky and she ate the whole thing! (I liked it also.) I wasn't sure about browning the meatballs. I got my 12"" skillet out and it turned out to not be big enough to do all of them in one batch. However, doing two batches didn't seem to hurt anything. It didn't take long at all. Next time I make this, I will probably use my double burner griddle and see if that works any better.
