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

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

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.

Here is the solution to keep your meatballs from falling apart: place the raw meatballs on a 9 x 11 baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. When cool, I place them in a colander and rinse (yes, I rinse them) with hot water. This drains the grease so you don't have any "swimming" on top of the sauce. Then I add them to the sauce and simmer for an hour. The meatballs came out wonderful!! I did not use any onions nor water and used tomato sauce instead of soup.

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!

The meatballs were great! I sautéed the meatballs in olive oil before adding to my sauce (I only made the meatballs from the recipe and combined it with my own sauce) because I saw the previous reviews stating they had a tendency to fall apart. I first made them for my husband (who loved them) and then later at a Labor day cookout and I over heard one of my guest state the sauce and meatballs tasted like his mother used to make. This is a staple that I will keep in my freezer.

I used the meatball recipe and just simmered in jar spaghetti sauce. They were really good. I did lightly brown before simmering to help hold form.

I used the meatball mixture in a different sauce because the thought of using tomato soup as sauce scared me. The meat balls did not hold up during cooking but were very tasty anyway.

Great basic meatball recipe to use in lots of different ways! I omitted the onions and I also browned them in a skillet with a little olive oil. I froze the ones I didn't use tonight and will use them later for something else. Thanks for sharing this one!

I changed it a little, using a big can of marinara sauce instead of the tomato soup, which came out wonderful. I actually halved the recipe and couldn't believe how many meatballs it made! My husband and I both love it and it's a great mid-week meal.

these meatballs seemed too wet! i tried to gently cook them so they would stay together, and when that didn't work i placed them in a pan with marinara sauce. they just fell apart while simmering. definitely not what i'm looking for, i've made meatballs before and i've never had any problems.

I only made the meatballs and they were great! However, I didn't add the milk and I added crushed red pepper, italian seasoning, fennel seed, and little olive oil. I also cooked them in a skillet for a couple of minutes all over just to keep them from falling apart in the marinara sauce that I cooked them with. I'll definitely make these again.
