Spaghetti and Meatballs

If you’re looking for a super simple, comforting, no-frills bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, you’ve come to the right place.

This Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe is a slight variation on a delicious recipe shared by Italian Grandma (link is below) on YouTube. This is for one pound of ground beef and for me it makes almost 20 meatballs. (Of course, if you made larger meatballs, you’d wind up with less.)

NOTES

Italian Grandma’s recipe is for two pounds of ground beef and she makes homemade sauce from scratch. https://youtu.be/NFnKaAnXQiYLeisa Sutton’s recipe for canning meatballs (includes no bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, or egg) https://youtu.be/vi6fKekQts0
