These low-fat meatballs taste fabulous on their own, but if you want to take things up a notch, serve with a dip of hot Velveeta cheese and salsa. You could also substitute ground white turkey for the chicken. -Katrina Lopes, Lyman, South Carolina

These meatballs were just okay. I found them to be a bit dry and bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used more spices.
