These meatballs were a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid to the sauce.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but these were really good! The sauce was especially tasty.

These meatballs are so easy to make and they always turn out so well. I love that I can just throw them in the oven and forget about them.

These meatballs were a hit with my family! They were so flavorful and juicy, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be making these again.
