2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon salt

1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm giving this recipe 3 stars. The meatballs were good, but the couscous was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The meatballs were bland and the couscous was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still delicious. The couscous was also a nice touch.
