Meatballs Caprese Salad Recipe

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mama Mancini’s Original Family Recipes. All opinions are 100% mine.

Tonight I made the easiest dinner ever, and everything in it was all natural. Mama Mancini’s Meatballs are a line of all-natural meatballs that are slow cooked in Italian sauce, and available as beef, turkey, chicken or pork at Walmart…and the best part is they can on your family’s dinner table in about 20 minutes after opening. The meatballs have been slow-cooked and just need to be heated up and added to pasta for a very easy, delicious meal that your family will love.

We chose to create a recipe with Mama Mancini’s beef meatballs and Italian sauce, which are made from 100% beef, whole fresh eggs, Romano cheese, onion, parsley, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the right amount of breadcrumbs. They are delicious and remind me of the meatballs from my favorite Italian restaurant, except these are available anytime I want, in my home, and I can add them to anything I want. When I think of a great Italian meal, I think of a caprese salad and a plate full of delicious, hearty meatballs, so I decided- why not? I surprised my husband with a Meatball Caprese salad that was out of this world good!

We enjoyed our Meatball Caprese with a regular salad and some Italian bread, but of course Mama Mancini’s Meatballs and Slow Cooked Italian Sauce can be added to so many other dishes, like spaghetti, or a bread loaf topped with melted cheese for a yummy meatball submarine sandwich…so many ways to make favorite meals more delicous, with all-natural, just-heat-them-up meatballs!
