Published: | Updated: | By Ashlee

Out of all the potluck recipes I’m sharing this week this one is by far the easiest AND the one I make the most. Growing up we had it once a year at my mom’s annual Christmas party, but it turns out these are good over rice and one of my kids favorite “meals”. I make it when it’s time to go grocery shopping and I’ve run out of the good meals

Everyone always asks for the recipe and everyone is always shocked it’s so simple. I know I was, as an adult when I asked my mom for her meatball recipe. Honestly I didn’t believe her the first time she told me. I thought she was teasing me! It’s one of those recipes I’ve found that most people already know, but just in case here it is!

Recently I did a live cooking show with 8 different game day recipes, all perfect for a potluck. Mostly dips but also these easy meatballs!

      I love it as a party side, but my kids love it over rice. I think it needs something more for adult tastes, like some veggies, but my kids love it with just the meatballs and rice, crazy kids!

      Let me know what you think! There are lots of things I enjoy making with tons of ingredients, but it’s nice to have something so simple sometimes. and it really doesn’t get better than Costco meatballs too!
