These meatballs are by no means Italian so don't even think that way. These are my Grandma's version of meatballs and I love them both dearly. This is comfort food. These are made by all cooks in my Mom's family and are eaten by all. They make a lot so they are good for big dinners or freezing half, like I usually do. Plus they are requested by middle daughter every week even though we only have them occasionally, poor Jenna :)
