I made the meatballs only. They were ok. I only used 1/2 onion and not all the milk. My son thought they were just like meatloaf. I might add some italian sausage next time to spice them up.

I thought the meatballs were delicious! So moist they melt in your mouth. I too baked mine for about 30 min before i added them to the sauce, the only problem i find with this recipe is the onions, I used 3/4 an onion and my meatballs were all onion, i cant even imagine using 2, next time ill use less onion, all in all a really excellent recipe.

Like most reviewers, I only made the meatballs - AgentLucy style. Added in Penzey's Pasta Sprinkle and LOTS more of the recommended spices. (Shorted the milk, as well - didn't measure, just splashed it in) Also, tossed in a bit of Parmesan Cheese into the mixture.

Only used the meatball recipe. It's a winner. I changed two things and used itallian seasoned bread crumbs and only a fraction of the milk. Add the milk slowly if you're not sure how much to use. My 11 month old son loved the meatballs!

I made the meatballs. Yummy! Haven't tried the sauce because I made my own but if the sauce is as good as the meatballs, I'll go for it. Made enough of the meatballs to freeze and they are soooo good. Oh, forgot to mention..I baked them for 25 min. at 350.

i only used the meatball recipe, very very good. i brownewd them first then simmerd in sause for 30 min.

I love this recipe. It has been used in my family for over 50 years. We do not put garlic or onion in the meatballs. We do put garlic in the sauce. I do not know where my mother got the recipe, but she passed it down to me, and I have passed it down to my daughter and son.

After making and enjoying this recipe I think I will adjust the cayenne to just a 1/4 tsp. It a tad too strong after-kick for my liking. Otherwise I used the recommendation for baking the meatballs and this recipe was a real winner at my home!

I usually take the time to read the reviews prior to using a recipe from this site, but I didn't this time. Fortunately, they turned out well anyway. I just made the meatballs since I had some jarred sauce on hand and really didn't feel like making it from scratch. I followed the recipe to a tee, except I doubled it because I had two pounds of ground beef that needed to be used up. So now I have extra meatballs for another meal. My whole family loved the meatballs. It's the first time I've ever attempted them and I was pretty pleased at the result. I think I will try baking them next time. I really didn't have a problem with them falling apart, but it seems like a better way to prepare them. I will certainly make these again---the family would be disappointed if I didn't!

The meatballs were very good. I used more ground beef then called for, used a cookie scoop to form the balls, and then baked them for about 25 minutes at 350 as others had suggested. I then added the meatballs to an extra large jar of spaghetti sauce that I had watered down a little and added some plain tomato sauce to and let them simmer for another 20 minutes or so. This made a huge batch of sauce which I was able to freeze for two more meals, my family really liked them.

I did not like the texture of these meatballs. And they fell apart in the sauce. I would not make this again.

This is THE best recipe for spaghetti and meatballs I have ever found. My daughter loved it and she HATES spaghetti. Thanks so much for submitting it France :o)

My husband like it but it wasn't what I had expected. I should have used less bread crumbs and little less milk.

We actually made the sauce as noted here and it wasn't good. The meatballs fell apart. The salad and bread we had was good though. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

I thought the recipe was ok. I only used the meatball part. Like a previous reviewer suggested, I baked them for about 25 minutes at 350 and then rinsed them. The bottoms of the meatballs were burnt, but that's ok, it didn't really affect the taste of the meatballs. I only used 1 1/2 onions and after mixing it all up, it was way too much. Also, I added a teaspoon of oregano instead of parsley for more flavor. At the end of it all, I thought it tasted like the italian bread crumbs I had put in. The meatballs were kind of soggy and not very meaty. Tasty, but still soggy. I simmered them for 25 minutes and they were still not too meaty tasting. My boyfriend liked it, but he's not the one who does the cooking =P so I'm going to continue searching for that perfect meatball recipe.

I only used the meatball recipe since I already have a spaghetti sauce recipe. Thank you so AgentLucy for her suggestions for how to cook the meatballs; it saved me a lot of trouble. I used 3/4 cup breadcrumbs & 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. I only used a splash of milk so they wouldn't be too dry. I also used 1 tsp italian seasoning instead of parsley. Using all the milk would have been a disaster! I baked them, rinsed them off & added them to my sauce & simmered for 30 min. They held up great in the sauce; didn't fall apart at all. Worked out wonderfully-my first attempt at meatballs was a success!

I made the meatballs for a big dinner party for my friends. I took the advice of some of the other reviews and I baked the meatballs in the oven to keep them from breaking up in my sauce. My friends loved them and it didn't take a lot of time at all to make it.
