Good and easy meatball recipeMay 26, 2009By Georgia.Babydoll
"This recipe had all the right ingredients to make a wonderful meal. I served it over rice as recommended and my husband and I both loved it. I only made 1/2 of the recipe since there are only two of us, but there was still enough for leftovers later in the week. Expect to make this one again and again. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing!"
