Personal Notes:
My paternal grandma made these for a Friday night dinner, and family gatherings. She’d make double batches to feed a crowd, and keep them warm in a crockpot. The meatballs and gravy are savory and comforting, and go well with mashed potatoes, and carrots.

Additionally, you can mix and freeze just the meatballs without the gravy for a make ahead meal for those days when you just don’t feel like going through a big rigamarole for dinner. Just thaw the meatballs a day ahead of time, mix up the gravy, and bake as directed.
