I'm a big fan of gator meat and these meatballs were some of the best I've ever had. The sauce was also amazing.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my meatballs turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The meatballs were a little dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make these again, but I would add more moisture to the meatballs.
