Cream of Mushroom Soup: Any brand will do, I’ve used Campbell’s as well as store brand and it always turns out great.
Bread: Bread or breadcrumbs are classic binder for meatballs and it works great in this recipe. I usually use whatever type of bread I have on hand, but white and wheat tend to work the best. This is a great recipe for using up bread that is a bit stale too!
Miracle Whip: I always get surprised looks when asked what I put in these meatballs. So don’t worry if using Miracle Whip sounds odd to you, it tastes amazing!
