These meatballs were a bit too tangy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less vinegar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The meatballs were easy to make and had a great flavor. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they turned out just as well.

I'm not usually a fan of meatballs, but these were surprisingly good. The tangy sauce was the perfect complement to the tender meat.
