Mother In Laws Meatballs Food

My husband overwhelmingly prefers my cooking to his Mother's, but this is one recipe I got from her that is still a big favorite for both him and our son. I adjusted the amounts a bit to make a bit more sauce, but it's basically her original recipe. It's on the sweet side, but you can adjust flavorings to suit your family's tastes. I sometimes add a bit of crushed red pepper to add some kick. Don't let the amount of ketchup scare you! It does not taste ketchupy - just rich and flavorful. The meatballs still taste good even if you want to stretch them by adding a bit more oats or bread. Note: In response to reviews, I have posted an alternative method of browning the meatballs in the oven.

This is actually my mother in law's recipe but for the sake of alliteration, I used Mom. We use these in spaghetti, over rice with gravy, or as appetizers (see the recipe for Grape Dogs). Cooking time will vary depending on how big you make the meatballs.

I am very fond of meatballs, but most of them are either dry or not very tasty. My mother in law made these, and it has always tickled my tastebuds. When I cut a meatball, I like it to be soft, and it must not be hard and dry. These balls are soft and break easily, so watch it when your turn them over. Made on stove top in a pan with very little oil.

This is my mother in law's, mother in law's sauce recipe. It is sweet due to the sugar, but it's my husband's favorite! The meatball recipe is one I adapted using parmesan cheese instead of eggs since my daughter is allergic to egg whites. This meal is yummy!
