Making homemade meatballs is so easy and a lot less expensive than purchasing pre-made! Here is the recipe that has been in my family for 4 generations. You will love how moist they become after simmering in a large pot of sauce all day….top them on spaghetti for dinner and make a delicious meatball sub for lunch the next day!

Thank you Grandma..I love you so much. Thank you for being such a good example of a Godly wife!

Oh my this looks YUMMY! I so cant wait to try this out on our next Spaghetti Madness night!! hugs
Wow! My husband would love this – I have never made my own homemade meatballs…why you ask??? Ummmm…cause it's so easy to just brown the meat and make meat sauce – but you inspire me – I must do this for my family…they'd think I was the bomb lol!!! 🙂
Thanks for the recipe!

Courtney, yes it is easier to make meat sauce! Good idea! lol! Sonya..spaghetti madness..sounds fun!!
Just wondering – can you cook them half way and than freeze them – than throw them in the crockpot frozen and cook in a sauce?? In my head I say yes but I thought I would post here and see if I get a response. We love meatballs and they are so expensive to buy so making a big batch of these and freezing them would be perfect!
Yes Jackie, I just did it this afternoon. But, I was just simmering my sauce on the stove for a couple of hours. About 30 minutes before serving, I took the previously cooked meatballs from the freezer and added them to the simmering sauce. This is just one way you can thaw frozen meatballs.

Wow, my husband is going to love this!!! Thanks so much we have been looking for a recipe like this!
Looks so good. A meat ball sub sandwich sounds amazing for lunch!
Looking forward to my dinner tonight cause this is what I am making along with your Grandma's spaghetti sauce!
Yes Jackie..you sure can! Kathryn, goodgirl, Ingrid..thank you! Enjoy serving your families! Love to you, Janelle
These meatballs look delicious, I have Grandma Ruths Spaghetti sauce recipe and the sauce is good too…
Thank you Anna!
is this printable?
I made this tonight so tomorrow’s dinner would be easier (meatball subs) and we loved it! Thank you for sharing!
Yummy! I’ve never attempted this before but now feel empowered! So I would assume these would be okay tossed in the crock pot with the sauce at a certain time of day?
Thanks for this wonderful recipe, my mom always had a good one but never followed a recipe and no matter what I do I cannot duplicate it.
Yes, absolutely!!! <3
