Turned out to be a great meal and was a breeze to make. However, I did replace the ground beef with a ground soy beef "like" product which turned this into a hearty vegetarian meal. I was able to fool my friends at a potluck with this dish. Thanks for the post.

The liquid smoke MAKES these... my topping was a bit too thick to pour so I spooned it over the meatballs and it gave an excellent taste for very little efort. I will be making these again soon becuase DH commented that he especially liked these. Please see my rating system: 5 stars for this recipe simply becuase the addition of the topping with the liquid smoke turned ordinary meatballs into something different and tasty. Thanks!

I am married and mother of 3 wonderful children. I have a 21 year old daughter and 19 year old twins, a boy and a girl. The picture above is of my granddaughter Destiny born April 5, 2007. She was a preemie and weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. at birth. She spent 73 days in NICU in the hospital She has came a long way and was 11 months and a little over 19 pounds when the picture was taken. She shows no problems at all now and is truly a miracle and I thank God for her. She is already Nana's little girl. I have a wonderful husband who is very honest with me about any dish I prepare. He is my best critic as I am sure most husbands tend to be. I love trying new recipes and love to cook. I love Taste of Home cookbooks. I like to do counted cross-stitch and recently I have rediscovered a lost love of mine; reading, especially mysteries. I can get lost in a good book for hours. Weather permitting my hubby and I like to ride on his Harley. Nothing like it! If I had a month off with no responsibilities I would travel. Love the beach!!! My dream is to retire and for my hubby and I to travel to all the places I would like to see.<img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <a href="http://www.freekibble.com" TARGET="_blank"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://www.freekibble.com/images/share/freekibble-blue-194x67.gif" alt="FreeKibble.com"></a>Participation & Awards: These are some of the fun games and clubs here at Zaar. -
