Meatballs
"My very good friend Connie brought these to my house when my husband's grandmother passed away & they were a hit!!! I had to get the recipe to make for future get togethers! So, we'll be having them at our Fourth of July cookout. Yummy!!!!!!! Servings are obviously approximate!!!"

very good! I love this food very much! -
I used the same ingredients, except for the oats. I used ritz crackers and made it into a meatloaf rather then meatballs. Fantastic ! I label it as sloppy joe meatloaf in my recipe box. -
I made these last night and they were great. I halved the meatball recipe but left the sauce the same, as I like lots of sauce. Also, I halved the sugar - I find most American recipes very sweet to my British palate. And I thinned it out with beef stock. Thanks Earnhardt.

Everyone in my family, including myself loved this recipe. Absolutely delicious. I would love to recommend this recipe to everyone else on this board and to try it at least once, or twice. Maybe even more. My family asked me to make this again, and I can't disappoint them.

These were very easy to prepare, but not quite what I expected. I felt they could have used quite a bit more sauce and the cooking time was a bit too long, as they overcooked somewhat (sauce became very thick and sticky- like tomato jam). Also, the flavor of ketchup was too strong in the sauce. I would also estimate the servings on this to be closer to 10-12 overall (this makes a LOT of meatballs). When I make these again, I will double the sauce, thin it just a bit, add a bit more mustard or garlic for extra flavor, and cook them for a shorter amount of time. Thanks for posting!

FYI...I used to be Earnhardt#3 on Zaar, so I'm not a newbie!!
This picture is of me and hubby in Hollywood in August of 2006. If you really look, you can see the sign waaaayyy back there behind us! Don't I look like a star in my shades?? ;)
I live in a town of about 1500 and work at an insurance office here in town. I am married with a 13 year old daughter, a 32 year old stepson and, as of Dec 11, 04, a daughter in law. They now have a one year old daughter, Natalie. She's a sweetie!
I love NASCAR!! Root for Tony Stewart. Ya I know, alot of people don't like him, but love the bad boy attitude!! We go to a couple of races a year; love it!! I confess...I'm a redneck!!!
I like to read, cross-stitch and I love to cook when the weather turns cool. I love music, mainly country and classic rock. I love to sing, too, but nobody else would enjoy it, so I keep that to myself!! I love to go out with girlfriends, have a few drinks and dance the night away. I like to ride my bike and walk when the weather is warm. I love the outdoors and would rather work in the yard anytime than in the house. My daughter plays on a traveling softball team in the summer, so that keeps us busy about every weekend. Actually, they practice most of the year, so we're never too far from a softball field!! She also plays softball at school, so we go from one team to the next! I love it and will miss it when she's too old to play! She pitches and plays 1st base. Her new coach is going to try her at third this year, so that will be something new for her.
I LOVE any kind of animal, especially dogs, and am very concerned about animal welfare, especially Greyhound rescue. The retired racers go through so much and are so appreciative when they finally get to go home with someone!
If I had the time & the cash, I would run away to a tropical island. There's nothing better than swaying palm trees, balmy breezes and turquoise water. I love to wake up in the morning and hear the waves crashing. A cold margarita isn't a bad addition, either!
I LOVE dogs; I have really grown to love Greyhounds; what personality!! We adopted Missileman on May 15, 2006; a great birthday gift for me!! He is a retired racer, but now seems happy just to be a dog! We also have a 5 year old yellow cat, Drew. A real troublemaker! We also have a 5 year old Black Lab named Angus. He is actually my stepson's dog, but it seems we're his permanent family! We also have an adopted fur baby, Tanner. He actually belongs to the neighbor, but he loves us and visits everytime he escapes!!
There are three things I want to do before I die (well, more than 3, I'm sure, but...) I want to visit Hawaii and Australia and I want to swim with dolphins.
My pet peeves are two faced, backstabbing people. And, people who only want to be a friend when you can do something for them. Those people may as well stay away from me; life's too short to deal with 'em!!
I've "met" alot of interesting people here at Zaar and can't wait to see what's going on every morning when I log in!!
I've been in a few swaps over the last year and had a great time!! I appreciate everybody who organizes them; it's alot of work!!
