I loved these meatballs! The beef and rice combination was perfect, and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. I served them over spaghetti, and they were a hit with my family.

These meatballs were easy to make and very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they turned out great. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were a little dry for my taste, but the sauce was very good. I think I would add more liquid to the meatball mixture next time.
