EXCELLENT! I always wanted to cook meatballs, but never had a good recipe. My family LOVES these meatballs. This one is a keeper; a new Sunday tradition. I only used beef and pork and I put the meatballs on an ungreased cookie sheet and baked at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes and then threw them into a simmering sauce. Thanks for a great recipe!

First meatball attempt and they are delicious in spaghetti or as a sandwhich. Cooked in the spaghetti sauce gives the meatballs a nice texture and the parmesan cheese adds a delicious flavor. I used only beef and they came out wonderful.

The best meatballs either myself or DH have ever had, thank you so much for posting! I'm not normally a meatballs fan, but these were so tender and full of flavour; I used half beef half pork. I'd possibly up the garlic a bit next time, but that's only because we're fanatical about it! I simmered these for 1/2 hour in #8364 tomato sauce and they were perfect. Thanks for a delicious dinner that will certainly be made again!

These were absolutely hands down the best meatballs I have ever made! I used them for Kitten's recipe for Meatball Sub Casserole #70205 and they were so delicious! They were just bursting with flavour, and DH and I were eating them before we could get them in the casserole. This will be how I prepare meatballs from now on! I baked them in the oven, as I wasn't preparing sauce, but next time I make spaghetti....look out! Thanks for another keeper Kitten!

Made these instead of my regular ones. DH said "Best batch you've ever made!" Dropped these right into "JoMamas Spaghetti Sauce" from this site, a winning combination.

Kittencal...you are my new American Idol! I'm knee deep in the midst of making these meatballs of yours along with your ground beef sauce. Dinner is hours away and my husband and I can't keep our hands off either of these recipes! I consider myself a very experienced cook and have been making my own homemade meatballs and "gravy" passed down from my husband's Italian family. These 2 recipes BLOW THEM AWAY!! I baked the meatballs and plan to freeze them in ziploc's to drop in to quick meals for my toddlers. I used extra meat in these meatballs, added crushed red peppers, garli garni seasoning and lots more garlic. I also chose to bake these rather than drop in the sauce since I was saving 1/2 of them for future meals. The recipe is sheer perfection!! Thank you so much! I'll now be looking at all your other recipes for more wonderful treats. Thank you, thank you!

These are now my favorite meatballs. I've always added Parmesan or Romano cheese to my meatballs, but I love the extra pepper and oregano in these. I have usually always baked mine in the oven, but I tried just putting them in the sauce this time and I loved how they turned out. Much softer and they do absorb the sauce nicely. Thank you Kitten.

Honestly, I did not think that I could find a meatball recipe better than the one I have been using all these years......well Kitten you did it again! Excellent recipe, the only mistake I made was reducing the recipe since there were only 2 of us here, there aren't enough left over for tomorrow! Thanks for posting this one!

Delicious Kittencal! I used 11/2 lbs beef and 1/2 lb pork. I made these up into hamburger patties to cook on the BBQ. They were perfect in a hamburger bun. Great flavor. I made up some meatballs that I froze to use at a later date as well.Will be keeping this recipe close at hand. Thanks Kittencal for this excellent recipe.
