These meatballs were a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the sauce and they were much better.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.
