    Incredible!
    These were awesome. Made them the night before and took to work in my crock pot for lunch the next day. Everyone loved them. I will definitely make these again. - 5/17/12

    Incredible!
    Very Yummy! I am sure I will make this again. Thanks for sharing. My only problem was that the meatballs stuck to the broiler pan and made the turning process a bit difficult. - 3/16/10
