Grandma made these when I was growing up and when I got married, she gave me the recipe. I doubled her recipe so I can put some of the meatballs in the freezer for my son to make when I have meetings for work in the evenings. These are very basic porcupines. You can put whatever sauce over the top if you like your meatballs with gravy. The prep time is however long it takes you to mix and make the meatballs. The bake time is per batch.
