We Called Them Christmas MeatballsApril 26, 2008By dawnzander
"My mom made these when I was growing up. I did not like them when I was a kid because her recipe calls for sauerkrout in the sauce, but I love 'em now!! I like to serve them with rice, and green bean casserole. If you are pressed for time or just hate messing with raw hamburger, the frozen meatballs work great too."
