I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my albondigas turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked the meatballs.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, the meatballs were delicious and the sauce was very flavorful.

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would add more liquid to the meatballs next time.
