[@TannyCooks]

Lol, yes ma’am, personal satisfaction is a perfect reason cook this yummy food😊 I like to make this Italian style pasta salad on Sundays and have it for lunch for the next few days

[@BettyGlocker]

@Tanny Cooks making it for the weekend! ❤️

[@BettyGlocker]

​@TannyCooks 9mths later and I just wanted to let you know I am asked to make this pasta salad for every event now 😂 I've probably made it 12 times since. I'm tired.

[@helenbee4781]

So glad I found this. Throwing a baby shower in 2 weeks and wasn't sure what to make. This is going to be my menu you now - thank you.

[@yvonnebrode6899]

For another meatball recipe, just three ingredients. Heinz Chilli sauce, Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce and the meatballs. Mix the chilli sauce and cranberry sauce together and pour over the meatballs in a crockpot. 5 hours on low, you good to go.

[@ddl4374]

PLEEEEEEASE TELL ME THEEXACT RECIPE!!!!!! PLEEEEEEEASE❤❤❤!!!

[@yvonnebrode6899]

@@ddl4374 it depends on the the number of meatballs. When I make them for our church potluck, I use 3 bags of the Italian style meatballs, 2 jar of Heinz chilli sauce and 2 cans of Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce. Mix the cranberry sauce and chilli sauce together. Pour some of mixture into your crockpot, add the meatballs and pour the rest of the sauce over the meatballs.

[@TannyCooks]

The cranberry sauce sounds like it would delicious with meatballs!

[@mariaayon4997]

[@FussyScorpio]

Today I made your pasta salad recipe for my daughter's baby shower, it was a hit!! Thank you for your expertise and you should definitely write a cookbook!!!

[@mothertwinkles4198]

I use the turkey meatballs because the first year I made them BJs was out of the beef. My family didn't notice, and they've been a hit from then on. I also made them for my coworkers and many of them don't eat beef or pork. When, I told them they were turkey it was a wrap.

[@TannyCooks]

They sound yummy. Turkey is a great option in lieu of red meat for sure. What brand of chili sauce do you like?

[@saffronlealle464]

We use the little weenie sausages... for the sauce use a whole bottle of heinz ketchup(that brand tastes the best to us but its your preference) any brand grape jelly, about a cup of Worcester sauce (a little more or less is up to you) and a bottle of chile sauce for that little kick. Heat it up and stir until all melted and mixed really good.. pour over sausages.

[@TannyCooks]

That sounds yummy! Those little weenies have gotten expensive, last time I checked one small pack of Hillshire Farm little weenies was 5.99$. I left those in the store, lol. But I have mixed little weenies and meatballs together in the same pan when cooking for a big crowd.
