Just kidding! That's when you know the meatballs are homemade _ when they don't look perfect. They have more love in them that way. Didn’t Chef Boyardee make spaghetti and meat yo-yos? Just kidding!

That’s when you know the meatballs are homemade _ when they don’t look perfect. They have more love in them that way.

When we make meatballs over here we use half beef, half turkey to cut the red meat - it changes the flavor a bit, but not in a bad way. My problem is that I let them brown maybe too long or maybe the consistency of the raw meat mixture isn't right. I think you add more breadcrumbs to yours. After cooking our meatballs are always shaped like yo-yos! Yup, spaghetti and meat yo-yos, ha ha! Yum, thanks for the recipe, Carolyn.

I actually beg to differ with Single Guy Chef. While I love a good plate of spaghetti & meatballs, that creamy polenta looks terrific.

It just makes me feel like a kid eating a nice juicy meatball and twirling the spaghetti around the fork. Food Gal, you should try adding mint to your meatballs. I learned that from a friend who visited some relatives in Italy and it's such a refreshing surprise in your mouth when you're biting into the meatballs!
