these turned out well, but I had to make an adjustment. I used the "marinade" ingredients to make a sauce, thickened with cornstarch. Next time, I will not bother with marinading them,but instead, use the marinade ingredients (with out the water) in the meatballs as well. I quadrupled the recipe, 2lbs of ground beef, which made a lot of meatballs, but there were only a few left over.

Meatballs were too crumbly; add an egg and more bread crumbs. Sauce is too sweet for my taste; use less sugar.

Seriously??? YUM!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what these other people are talking about that gave this recipe poor reviews?? I have to imagine it was through some fault of their own, because I just made these, tasted one, and let me tell you: it's delicious! Only variations were: I doubled recipe because i had 1 lb of beef...but like some of the the other reviewers, it confused me because I didn't get the volume of balls that i expected? for 1 lb of beef I got about 35 balls, and they are about the size of a child's standard 'bouncy ball'. The other variation was i used more chopped onion than called for and i used 'minced' garlic instead of 'crushed'. My 10 year old is begging for more 'samples', but i have to save them for tonight's entertaining! (makes me wish i had made more!) I will make these again, for sure.

This recipe took 45 minutes, start to finish. I doubled the recipe and only came up with 27 meatballs. That made me think mine were bigger than the original so I upped the cooking time to 30 minutes. They came out great. This has a nice flavor. I didn't even marinate them, just made the sauce and poured straight on top. I served mine by spooning the meatballs into bowls and pouring a little sauce on top. That way, you could roll the meatball around in the juice and give it really great flavor.

Thought they were really good. I changed a few things, I didn't let it sit for an hour and I put the sauce on right before I put it in the oven...it turned out fine and tasted good.

I made this recipe for my BFF's first ever birthday party she has ever had in her life and it got rave reviews, as soon as it was on the table it was gone. I am making it again on request for a church function. Thanks

This recipe was bland, had to spice it up. Try my Gatta Have Meatballs recipe

I thought this recipe was very easy to prepare and the meatballs turned out great I used 1 pound of beef and doubled the recipe and came out with about 50 meatballs. I also added a some cheddar cheese to the meat mixture for a little something extra. I will definately make these again.

I'm sorry but I just made these for a taste test for a bridal shower I will be hosting soon and they are so bland...I added salt & peper & extra garlic and they were tasteless...they were moist though...I guess the search is still on...
