"This recipe started from a recipe sticker on the top of a package of hamburger at a neighborhood store. I've tweaked it since then, and it is now our very favorite. Be gentle when mixing the hamburger, the less you compress it, the better your meatballs turn out."

These meatballs are good, easy to make, and use ingredients I usually have. It makes some really good meatball marinara subs with mozzarella that are a real treat for us. Thank you!
