German Meatballs

So the meatballs were a bit of a disaster. I should learn how to read! I got all my ingredients out and realized that it said Tomato SOUP not SAUCE. There is a difference. The other thing I neglected to notice was the fact that they take 2 hours to cook on the stove and 1 hour in the oven. I was thinking 30 minutes tops. Regardless of the earlier disaster, the meatballs were really good and I will make them again! So here is the recipe.
