So this weekend is the Royal Rumble and next weekend is the Superbowl so I HAVE to put out some recipes worthy of these two giant events. I mean it’s time for a couple of great get togethers so you have to be ready with the food! This Meatball Pie is the PERFECT thing to serve at something like this. It is a big hearty dish that will KILL it! I mean seriously one slice of this is the perfect cap for any appetizers you may have set out. I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy this one. I could go on and on and gush about how awesome it is but seriously I am just going to tell you, you NEED to try this one you will totally love it!
