"O.k..... so you have made meatballs before!!!! BUT have you tried Aussie meatballs, using Vegemite? Go on .................these might surprise you! You can use Beef or Lamb mince for this recipe..... I prefer the Beef as I don't eat lamb. Served over spaghetti with a sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese. I use fresh breadcrumbs and wholegrain breadcrumbs could also be also be used. ....ohh and don't forget the garlic bread!"
