This is a great comfort food type recipe and hearty too, with great home cookin flavor!  I do some prepping in advance, even the day before by making the meat balls ahead.  For the meat balls, I use the medium Pampered Chef ball maker, works great for this!  This recipe is again from my favorite home town cookbook.  You just can’t go wrong!
