March 9 is National Meatball Day! According to NationalDayCalendar.com, there is a restaurant in New York that has 54 different kinds of meatballs.  Not only do meatballs allow for variety, but they move from appetizer to side dish to main dish quite easily.  Meatballs can be made the night before and put in the crock pot, or days before and kept in the freezer. No one’s been able to identify the creator of National Meatball Day – but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate it with this tasty, EASY appetizer dish.
