this recipe is delicious

Ben a year ago

These were very much a family pleaser. Not a word at the dinner table and seconds all around. Even with the red pepper flakes that the wife usually balks at, these were a big hit. im actually going to make them again for a work event.

Turned out great, I slow cooked the sauce for like 6 hours, and I left my feta cheese in chunks, and the meatballs turned out incredible!
