This recipe is so versatile! Serve them as a party appetizer with dipping sauce. Add your favorite marinara sauce for spaghetti and meatballs. Make some meatball sub sandwiches. Use them as a base for stroganoff or a Swedish meatball dish. OR serve them plain! They are so moist and packed with flavor they don’t need a sauce!
