Rated 5 out of 5 by from Original Ranch Meatballs These are a HIT! Seriously, I can't make enough of these...they're gone within minutes after they're done. My kids and husband all request these at least once a week, and my friends always ask that I bring them to parties. They're absolutely delicious, and so easy to make!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Party Appetizer! These "mini-meatballs on a stick" are great party fun - tasty and easy to eat! You can adjust the seasonings to your own preference and/or have dipping sauces for them, as well! Just make sure no double-dipping!...
