The meatballs were great, but the sauce was a little too thick. I would recommend thinning it out with some water or broth.

These meatballs were a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices to the meatball mixture.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily remedied with a little bit of lemon juice. Overall, a great recipe!

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding some more moisture to the meatballs, perhaps by using ground chicken or turkey instead of beef.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out great! The sauce was a little too tart for my taste, but that's easily remedied with a little bit of sugar. Overall, a great recipe!
