I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out great. The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, so I added a bit of water to thin it out. Overall, this is a great recipe that I would definitely recommend.

These meatballs were a bit of a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the meatballs were dry. I think I might have overcooked them. I'll try again with a different recipe.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and the flavor is incredible. I especially love the hint of allspice in the sauce. These are definitely going to be a staple in my recipe rotation.
