Lemon-Rosemary Meatballs

These lemon-rosemary meatballs are a delicious twist on ordinary meatballs.

Delicious with a baked potato, in beef stroganoff, served alongside a tossed salad and garlic bread, halved and melted with cheese on a panini, over pasta with alfredo sauce, or served with sauteed peppers and onions.
