Meatballs

Your recipe sounds great. I'm anxious to try it. When I make meatballs, I always make them about the size of a ping pong ball and cook them in a foil lined jellyroll pan at 350 degrees F. It doesn't take that long to cook them and if you're going to add them to a sauce, they'll get some additional cooking there. (10/12/2007)
