I'm so glad! It's been a favorite in my family since sometime in the early 1960's.

The whole family loved this - and that's rare! I made it with spaghetti noodles (broken into short pieces) and jarred pasta sauce because that's all I had. A unique turn on some favorite flavors. - 3/15/09

These meatballs are delicious and requested often at our house!

I see a couple people asking about adding the macaroni uncooked to the meatballs. Yes combine all the ingredients and make into meatballs the macaroni will cook while the meat is cooking - 3/11/09

I made this recipe but I substituted the tomato sauce with 5 cheese marinara sauce. It was very tasty but I ended up burning some of the meatballs. I'll try it you way next time. - 5/27/18
