Meatballs were tasty and had a great texture, not too hard. I used regular BBQ sauce since I was unable to find Paula's sauce. I took them to a party, all eaten but one. Yummy.

I used this recipe for a party I catered. Because some of the guests did not eat pork for religious reasons, I made some with pork and some without (and labeled them as such) and got compliments for both versions. The ones with the pork were a little jucier than the ones without, but both were a hit.
