These really are so delicious, folks. They're almost like little "meatloaf balls", with a lot more flavorful surface area than a big slice of meatloaf. And the sauce is just a classic sweet/sour ketchup concoction and it makes you think of Grandma. My kids love this dish, which is a miracle. And they're delicious warmed up the next day and placed on a toasted sandwich bun with melted mozzarella on top. Yikes. *Note that these meatballs are not in the same category of regular Italian meatballs that would go in Spaghetti and Meatballs-those have more of a breadcrumb/parsley/Parmesan flair. These are more in the comfort food/meatloaf category. If you'd like to serve them with pasta, regular egg noodles tossed in a tiny bit of melted butter would be divine.

These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them.

I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce, but these meatballs were still really good. The sauce was tangy and flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out dry and tough.
