I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really tough. I think I overcooked them.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I should have chosen a simpler recipe.

The meatballs were good, but the sauce was a bit bland. I think I should have used a different type of beer.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more liquid to the sauce.
