These meatballs were a bit too greasy for my taste. I would probably drain the grease better next time.

The sauce was too thick for my taste. I would probably add more water or broth next time.

The meatballs fell apart when I was cooking them. I think I would use a different type of ground meat next time.

These meatballs were a bit bland. I would add more spices to the meatball mixture next time.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for me. I would probably use less sugar next time.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more cheese to the filling next time.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they're always a hit. They're easy to make and they taste great. I usually serve them with spaghetti and meatballs, but they're also great on their own.
