Homemade Meatballs

When my husband and I were first dating, we visited my family and my Memaw made him spaghetti and meatballs.  He was instantly in love! Ever since, when we visit she makes this dish for him.  The meatballs are super simple to make and so delicious.  I like to make a large batch so I have some to freeze for another meal. So here’s the our “family recipe” for homemade meatballs.
