Last time we made grilled hamburgers I decide to save some of the meat and experiment with grilled meatballs. After all, grilled food is healthy and flavorful, and once you have the grill on it's so easy to cook and then save the grilled goodies for later.
So, here are my grilled meatballs. You can serve them with your favorite tomato sauce and have them with spaghetti, or in a meatball submarine topped with shredded mozzarella. You can even make them bite sized and serve them as an appetizer to please a crowd!
