My son came home from college a couple weeks ago and immediately started talking about a giant meatball that he & his friends were going to make..... today was the day ..... they took over my kitchen and this is what they came up with...........

they started out with about 5lbs of ground beef, added oatmeal, some eggs, milk, a bunch of herbs and mixed it all up. then they started the base of the "meatball"

Deb, I about fell out of my chair looking at that - Talk about comfort food... Yum-eeeeee!

I may try a twist on this using Italian sausage.

When my oldest (Kaylin) saw this she said "That looks like my Monster Burger!" At a Kids' Q 2 years ago, that is what she made with 2 lbs of hamburger and filled it with cheese. She didn't score very well, but had a blast making it and it tasted really good.
