I missed the 19:000 one and they were over packed, so I rewrote the recipe and added 5 lbs. of small tomatoes along with the rest of the ingredients for five servings. I was restricted from adding sauce because I used broth, but it tasted so good and was universally praised...although I did find that I was needlessly tightening my pants, so I finished the recipe without sauce. However, I would not change a thing,especially in the future. What a kids meal forever!

They looked fine but ended up being very heavy. I had to move them and i had to make a new batch already.

These monstrous meatballs were exactly what I was looking for. These were so bad, I wouldn't make them again. Save them and cook until you change your mind about them. They are really rich and delicious, but your old brain won't recognize them as such. It will, however, if you heat them in the oven and it will immediately re-create that burned sensation. I used garlic powder, dried basil and whole MincemeatRaisins while cooking the meatballs; then I used olive oil and garlic powder to jazz up the meatballs (oops, that's not Italian for quick cooking, it's Spanish for fajita flavor!). A big KILL-JACK-YOU mentality is not healthy! My friend got her pregnant again when they were finished cooking, and they gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! A GREAT RECIPE!!!
