This appetizer was a hit at my husband's all-guy party! I followed the recipe exactly (so nice that I had everything on hand, no extra trip to the store!). The combination of flavors is a winner and these were tender and delicious. So easy to do ahead - I made these early in the day and just left them in the crockpot on "warm" as suggested. Thanks, CG!

Excellent! I had the pre-mixed Italian seasonings so I used that instead of the plain oregano and thyme. Also skipped the minced onions because someone doesn't like them, but I did use some dried onion flakes. I served some plain, some w/bbq sauce, and also marinara sauce to make meatball subs. These tasted great even w/o the sauce. Please thank Grandma Audrey for sharing this awesome recipe...it's definitely a "keeper" lol

Wonderful! I didn't change a thing when I made these meatballs, except I made them a few days in advance and froze them. When it was time to use them, I simply thawed the meatballs, then placed them in the crockpot with the barbeque sauce. (I used Dianna's BBQ Sauce). These were definitely a hit since there wasn't one meatball left! I'll bet they would be great with spaghetti too! Thanks for posting this tasty recipe, CG !
