. NO! Granny's Not Drunk!!! The Meatballs are!!! These Drunken Meatballs are from my Polish mother-in-law's mother... Theses are different and very good! ***The recipe can be made as written, or Cook the alcohol off in the drippings by adding alcohol first.... the taste is the same. *** This is also good as a party meatball... For party Meatballs, add onion to the meatballs and finely mince onion for the sauce. Play With Your Food! ox
