Ingrid's Top Secret Meatballs

MonkeySlippers's Note:

This recipe is from my best friend, Ingrid. She is the co-host of a daily radio show(www.drunkintheam.com) and she gave this recipe to her listeners on her blog.(http://belfastbeautyqueen.blogspot.com) She said she couldn't figure out how to post a recipe on here, so I'm doing it for her. :-) Anyway, she said these meatballs are great if you have a friend who is on a diet and you secretly want them to stay fat...just bring a platter of these to their home next time you visit. Evil, isn't she? :-)
