Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

This mixture will make approximately 12-16 meatballs. Serve with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Sometimes I add cooked rice to the mixture, it goes that little further. You could also add brown onion gravy over the meatballs instead of the pineapple sauce.
