Simple Meatballs
While we’re not surprised to hear they love how quick and easy these meatballs are to pull together, we didn’t expect to read all the different ways people are incorporating them into their meal plans by changing up the types of bread crumbs and seasonings they use. They’re even giving them their own twist by adding extra ingredients like garlic, Parmesan cheese or even ketchup.
