Beef meatballs are so versatile. They can be used in various Italian inspired dishes like spaghetti and meatballs or you can make a meatball dip with marinara sauce and your favorite crusty bread. You can serve ravioli with meatballs or make your lasagna meatier by adding meatballs to it instead of ground meat.Meatballs also go great in soups like an Italian meatball soup, Lasagna Soup or an Italian Wedding soup. Beef meatballs are a staple at potlucks here in Minnesota where folks bring them in grape jelly, barbeque sauce or even in sauerkraut. They are a great little appetizer or snack that are easy to make, throw in a crock pot and share with your family or friends. They are easy to make and easy to transport so they are a perfect thing to bring to your next Sunday football party or work potluck.
