My boyfriend had been craving spaghetti and homemade meatballs "like his mom makes" - boy that's a lot to live up to, ay? Anyway, never having made homemade meatballs before I was looking for something simple but delicious. This was just the treat. I too, only made the meatballs, not the sauce. I took the advice of one of the cook's below and baked them first in the oven then a little bit in the sauce and they turned out amazing! I'm so excited to make it again. Easy and scrumptious.

I had been CRAVING chiles rellenos when I found this recipe and couldn't WAIT to try it out. I'm new to cooking so I try to stay away from complicated recipes; this one seemed easy enough. I even checked out other members' entries to try to get some pointers. It was messy and didn't turn out quite how I expected. I prefer crunchy rellenos and these were fluffy - which I know appeals to lots of people. Broiling them and peeling them was easy. I ended up having to pan-fry them which was the messy part. All in all, they were disappointing but I realize this may have been because my expectations were too high. Maybe it'll work out better next time.

As a new chef, I am always looking for simple and delicious recipes to make. I am a huge fan of spicy and this recipe really hit the spot; not too spicy but not at all bland. My boyfriend really loved it too. I ran into a few of the same problems other people had: the bacon was not done enough - despite having cooked it prior to putting it in the oven and not being able to roll the chicken but it was delicious all the same. I also added just a few slices of avocado to the inside and it was perfect. Great way to try something new.
