My family loved it. I took the advice and added sugar. I also included some ground red pepper and oregano. 5 stars!

This recipe works well with 99% fat free ground turkey breast in place of the beef. Thanks!

Sauce was excellent! Used 2 large cans of Hunts Traditional tomato sauce, 1 can of Furmano's Italien crushed tomatoes, and 1 can of tomato paste. Also added a little dried basil and Italien seasoning, a can of mushrooms and a about a half cup of chopped onion. The meatballs were a little bland. I will add much more seasoning to them next time. I also baked them (as others suggested) for 15 min at 350. Didn't really make any difference b/c I used 93/7 beef (no grease). I will just throw them in the sauce uncooked next time instead of browning ahead of time. Overall, yummy.

Very good and easy recipe. We substituted half the ground beef for Italian sausage to add some extra flavor. We did bake the meatballs at 350 for 15 minutes before adding to crock pot which cut out most of grease some people had in the crock pot.

These meatballs were great! Firm but not crunchy. The bad part is that the sauce comes out very thin and we like a thick sauce. As leftovers the meatballs make a great sandwich!

Wow. I've never made meatballs before, but this was a great intro. I followed others' advice about reducing the breadcrumbs to 1/4 c., adding some basil, salt and pepper, using 1/2 the onion in the sauce rather than all in the meatballs. I had to bake them (350 degrees for 30 min.) b/c I didn't have time to slow cook them. I use my pampered chef large scoop to shape the balls and I filled 2 cookie sheets exactly. I also added some sugar, basil, parsely salt and pepper to my sauce. I sauteed the onion with these ingredients in butter first before adding the sauce (Prego meat sauce) and 24 oz of chopped tomatoes (didn't have tomato puree). Best of all, my husband raved, my finicky 7 year old tested one and asked for more (yes!), and I enjoyed way too many. Served with some rosemary/olive oil bread and sauted asparagus. Great Italian meal! Thanks for a great recipie.

Very tasty and easy. I used ground turkey (trying to watch calories and fat, plus it's cheaper), cut the breadcrumbs to 1/2 cup, and only used half an onion. I only had plain breadcrumbs on hand, so I used a lot of spices, at least a teaspoon each of garlic salt, italian seasoning, basil, parsley, and pepper. It still could have used more flavor, I think. Next time, I think I'll use another clove of garlic, a shot of red wine, and maybe a little cayenne or fennel. I only had spaghetti sauce on hand, so I used two large cans and it worked fine. I didn't have any problem with the meatballs falling apart - I used the lowest setting on my crock pot and literally did not touch them for 9 hours. Made them before work and came home to perfectly cooked meatballs and an easy dinner. Very handy.

Very good. Instead of using jar sauce, I made them with Best Marinara Sauce Yet from this site. I did bake the meatballs for about 35mins before adding them to the slow cooker. Not greasy at all! Very, very good. I will make them again!

Exceptional meatballs and sauce! My family loved it. It was extremely easy, especially for a full-time worker. I added garlic powder and basil to the sauce and used the large cans of crushed tomatoes and tomato paste because we like a lot of sauce with our spaghetti and it was great! The meatballs were melt-in-your mouth good! Thanks!

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! And it tastes even better as leftovers because it turns into a meatball and meatsauce combo. Restaurant-style fantastic!

Awesome! I used a mix of ground pork and venison instead of beef, and added about 1/2 c parmesean cheese to the meat mixture. I only had one jar of pasta sauce on hand (Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato sauce) and I used a can of Aylmer Accents - Diced Tomatoes with Olive Oil. I also followed the advice of others and decreased the amount of bread crumbs. They were absolutely amazing! I will NEVER buy store bought meatballs again EVER. Thanks for the recipe! :)

I made these yesterday and they were very good....My package of ground chuck was 2 lbs. and I didn't increase the rest of the ingredients...I did, as one reviewer suggested, used only 1 cup of seasoned bread crumbs...They held together nicely...I got 21 meatballs...I, also, baked them at 350 for 20 min...Got rid of a lot of grease and that awful gray stuff that cooks out of meat...I used a can of stewed tomatoes, that I crushed up in my hands and a can of diced tomatoes as I did not have a can of pureed tomatoes...I also, added a cup of red wine to the sauce...I cooked them on high for an hour and 2 hours on low...This is the first time I have ever made meatballs in the sauce...I have made cocktail meatballs and Swedish meatballs...

This was OK. I didn't think it had too much flavor, and I did add wine and seaasonings to the sauce. It was easy though, and I liked the fact that I did all of the prep in the morning and came home to a cooked dinner.

This was really easy and was delicious. The only complaint I got was from my Italian husband who said that there needed to be more fat. Next time I'll just add a little olive oil. I also made the sauce at the same time.
