Grandma's Meatballs image

This was always a favorite of mine while growing up. Loved to go to Grandma's when she was making this meatball dish. Never thought to get the recipe before she passed away. Lucky for me, while visiting my dad, I asked him about it, and he had me make them. Tasted just like I remembered. Add my cucumbers and sour cream recipe (also from Grandma), some mashed potatoes and string beans or corn on the side, and you have a great meal.

These meatballs were really good, but they were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would probably use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably use less sugar next time.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more bread crumbs or milk next time.
