Answer 1

...Get 4 jars of brown gravy, or you can use gravy mix, add the meatballs to the gravy, let simmer until hot, and put the meatballs in a bowl with toothpicks nearby and serve as an appetizer.(you didn't mention how big they were)......you can also go to your gravy aisle in the store and they have allot of sauces you can use, for example a Polynesian(with pineapples) so good.

I know you don't want a link, but my absolute favorite meatball recipe is on epicurious.com. It's a green chile pine nut meatball recipe. The flavors are awesome, and everyone I've ever served them to have raved.

In the search box, just put in "meatball" and look for the one that says "green chile pine nut". I'm serious, they're really great!
