Pork meatballs in mushroom sauce

Meatballs are very popular, with adults & kids alike, particularly in tomato sauce. These zesty pork meatballs in mushroom sauce are very tasty and very easy to make - a nice change if you feel like something different. You can use ready prepared meat balls too (beef ones are good too!), so you'll only have to make the sauce! Easy-peasy for a no-fuss midweek meal! Serve with pasta, rice or a mash.
