Meatballs are a fantastic recipe for a family dinner or when you have guests over. Hearty and delicious, they are both kid friendly and complex enough to please every appetite. Having hungry teens to feed means that I am always on the look out for recipes that make enough food for dinner with leftovers to boot. This is just that recipe. They are always excited to hear that meatballs are on the menu…with mashed potatoes of course.

This recipe easily doubles for bigger crowds though you may want to use a larger baking dish or separate the meatballs into two baking dishes.

      I bet you could make them just as well with ground turkey. I think the oats and milk would keep them moist. You might want to kick the spices up a notch, though, because turkey can be a bit bland.
