Aunt Bee's Spaghetti & Meatballs

March 23, 2014

This is one of our all time favorite recipes! When I make meatballs from scratch, I usually double this recipe. Since I am already dirtying the pans, I might as well make double the amount and have some in the freezer for a quick weeknight meal. I am including the spaghetti sauce recipe that I use when I have time to make it from scratch, but these meatballs are awesome with your favorite store bought marinara as well!
