These meatballs were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I will definitely be making them again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The meatballs were a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The sauce was way too spicy for me. I had to add a lot of sour cream to tone it down.
