I actually was kind of disappointed with this. The meatballs were actually perfect- it was the sauce that didn't impress me at all. I found it very bland and missing some zip. I had read one of the reviews before making it and someone had suggested using vinegar in the sauce which I think I will try that next time in hopes it gives it the zing that I felt it lacked. My guy loved it though so I will definitely give it another go.

I added quinoa instead of rice and it was an instant hit!

I wish I had read the reviews before making. I used regular long grain white rice, not instant. Did them in the oven, and now am simmering them on the stove. The meatballs were done, but the rice was still somewhat crunchy. Hoping this works! Tastes good with the exception of the crunchy rice!

I liked the base of this recipe. I substituted ground chicken for ground beef and used a dash of celery seed in place of celery salt. I also used instant rice, cut the salt back to 3/4 t, and doubled the garlic powder. I chose to bake the meatballs according to the alternate directions. Our meatballs were a bit larger and needed to bake for an extra 15 minutes, uncovered. This will be a regular on our dinner menu.

Great kid-friendly recipe! I made this for dinner for my 3 boys and it was a hit with them all - including my picky two year old who only eats salad! I made it just as directed, however, I didn't have celery salt so I doubled the garlic powder and added a bit of worchestershire sauce. I also browned the meatballs in the oven for 15 minutes at 425 before transferring them to the slow cooker where they cooked in the sauce on high for about 2.5-3 hours. I was afraid the sauce would be bland but it was not. An easy meal perfect with a salad and garlic bread. Definitely a keeper.

Loved this meal as a kid and fix it for my family now. I melt shredded cheese over the top of it when it is done. I also cook corn as a side dish, so that those of us who want to, can mix in the corn with the meatballs.
