I just made these delicious meatballs for a party we had last weekend and everyone went crazy over them- asking for the recipe! They were super surprised to know I had used a can of Dr Pepper! I stuck toothpicks in them if people wanted to eat them alone and put mini sub rolls if they wanted to make mini subs! Huge HIT!

They came out so very tender – the soda has a special way of doing that to any meat you add it to! I cant wait to post my dr pepper ribs recipe and a roast recipe! seriously the most tender recipes you’ll try!

My family could not get enough. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
