With this meatball appetizer, it’s all in the sauce. I have several sauces that will make your meatballs pop as a great appetizer for family or guests.

Once, in our family, we used to have get-togethers for almost every occasion. There were always at least 10 to 15 people attending. With that many guests, it’s difficult to have a sit-down dinner. So, we used to have buffets or outdoor barbecues. I used to bring out the heated chafing dish for my meatball appetizers. They were invariably the darling of the buffet table.

I used to have 3 x 5 cards made up of recipes that everyone was always asking for. Then, I wasn’t obligated to write down the recipe right on the spot. These meatballs were one of those requested recipes.
