Notes
Mini Meatball Appetizer #3
For this recipe mini meatballs are store-bought, however, I have a homade meatball recipe available. Refer to Mozzarella Meatball Recipe.
On appetizer #3 – I’m lost. How do you make the meatballs? And what is the Pillsbury dough you are using? Also – what tomato sauce and other sauce are you using? What type of cheese for each topping and in the base before cooking ? This recipe needs more information.
