ITALIAN BAKED MEATBALLS

 

This is a simple to make recipe but turns out tender and mouthwateringly delicious meatballs perfect to top spaghetti or for a meatball hoagie.  The recipe comes from my sister-in-law, Sandi Beck.  Sandi is an excellent cook, she makes it look easy to get an appealing and appetizing meal on the table using fun and scrumptious recipes.

These meatballs are baked covered, at a low temperature for a long time to fully develop the taste.
