CLOSEBest sausage for sure!!

I love the Johnsonville sausage and I always use it for my meatballs. I like this recipe as well and I just add a touch of garlic and some parsley. Perfect for a house where I have to cook for my 3 hungry men!!

Love this recipe! Like everyone else I've made changes.. I do not add onion only because I don't like them and use less than 1/4 cup of milk. I add minced garlic and Italian seasoning and they turn out great everytime!

The Best!
by Warrenville Nancy 2 months ago
This is the best meatball recipe I have ever found. These are scrumptious. I also add diced green pepper, always finding a way to incorporate vegetables in the diet. Johnsonville makes the best Italian sausage hands down! I am Italian and they get my overwhelming seal of approval!! Keep up the good work!!

Italian Meatballs
by Midwest Kathie 2 months ago
Added Italian seasoning by McCormick. Added Classico spicy Tomato & Basil, just added some to the meatball mix. This sauce is so delicious. Also added some on top of the meatballs with a pastry brush for the last 10 minutes. Baked these for a half hour - I really like to make sure my food is cooked through. Delicious!!!!! Made it with the mild ground Italian.

I would never have thought about making meatballs just out of sausage. Thanks to Johnsonville and House Party, I hosted a party and made this recipe. BEST Meatballs EVER!! My guests agreed and 2 of them went home and made the recipe within a week of attending my party! Serving them tonight with homemade spaghetti sauce, penne pasta and sourdough bread from my bread machine.

Excellent meatballs!
by jdub77 6 months ago
Being a garlic lover, I do add a little bit of garlic to the recipe. The whole family of 7 loves them (never any leftovers) - they request sausage meatballs every pasta night. I couldn't get my kids to eat meatballs until I started making them with sausage. I like switching it up by using the sweet sausage one night and the spicy sausage another. Great recipe I will use from now on!

EXCELLENT RECIPE
by Scotty1969 6 months ago
Very easy to make, great taste. I would recommend adding Ramano Cheese and a little salt, pepper, oregano & consider a touch of something hot to spice it up a bit.

loved by family
by Barbara 8 months ago
I found this receipe in the Dash magazine that comes with the Journal Gazette. The receipe was for Meatball Pizza. Needless to say there were no leftovers. Today I made the Meatballs for a Spagehettii dinner. They can be made ahead and frozen for later use. I have a Grandson who is a Diabetic so Carb counts are important. This receipe has 43 carbs total divide that by the nmber of meatballs to get individual count.

Needs Garlic
by EddieDancer 9 months ago
These were really easy to make and tasted good. I think adding garlic would bring out the flavor even more. I will add garlic to mine next time I make these.

INSTANT Family Favorite!
by CaliforniaCali 12 months ago
These were extremely easy to make. From my 16 month old baby to my 44 year old Hubby, everyone enjoyed these. My teenaged daughter helped me make them and we had a great time doing so. We made ours a bit large so they took longer too cook. In the end they were tasty, juicy, and very flavorful! I'm no chef but they came out perfect! Very easy even for the domestic-ly challanged people such as myself! Thank you Johnsonville. These meatballs will be in rotation at LEAST 2x a month!

Super yummy and easy!
by amark27 1 year ago
I'm making this for the second time in two weeks. Everyone in my family of 5 loved these meatballs and they were so easy to make in my stand alone mixer. Being from WI, we've always sworn by Johnsonville brats, but now we can add their Italian sausage to our list of favorites.

These are the only meatballs my husband will eat! I've been in search of good italian sausage since I lost my old time Itailan butcher years ago. I have tried all brands and when I discovered Johnsonville brand Italian sausage I quit searching. I have since tried all their sausages and am very pleased!
