These juicy Greek Meatballs have a delicious feta sauce that will leave you wanting more! They are delicious as an appetizer or over pasta or zucchini noodles.

One of the biggest struggles in my kitchen is finding something the whole family will eat.
Not only are my boys the pickiest kids alive, but I happen to like really big flavors. As in garlic packed goodness that even a kid that eats everything would turn their nose up at.
I'd rather cook separate meals for everyone than suffer through something that is bland and in dire need of seasoning.
Now that the boys are getting a little older, I am really making an effort to expand their taste buds because this is an area where I failed miserably early on. (I'm already doing much better with Skye than I did with them.)
Getting them to ditch the "kid food" isn't easy just like getting the whole family on the same page for a meal isn't easy.
These meatballs do the job for us thanks to the yummy feta sauce. The boys are happy with meatballs and ketchup and mustard (I know....) and hubby and I enjoy the sauce.
Leftover, these make a great filling for a pita or meatball sandwich.
