Just like the recipe title says, these are the perfect little meatballs! I love how they stay together even after reheating on serving day. It’s a very versatile recipe. I especially like to use them for meatball sandwiches. They are great for packing for lunch. Send them in a warmed thermos with some spaghetti sauce. Include a hotdog bun or a pita pocket and some shredded mozzarella cheese and you have a wonderful lunch!
