Meatballs, Football and Fun

Here comes the end of football season.  I know, it is a sad thing.  But... there is good news because along with those final games comes great times with family friends and your favorite "sports" foods.  Here's one of our favorites.  Not quite finger food but you'll be licking your fingers to get every last drop of the sauce on these little gems.  Enjoy!... WE SCORE!

2 lb. ground beef 2 eggs, beaten
