  • I have this recipe except it calls for a bottle of chili sauce instead of ketchup. It is probably THE BEST meatballs ever. My husband likes me to make extra so he can have leftovers

  • I made these for New Years Eve, and my son loved them. However, I did not use the sauerkraut in them, and they were still Great!! rtcdunn
