My son came home from football camp and LOVED this recipe! The meatballs were very tender. I substituted lean ground turkey breast for the ground pork to lower the fat content - other than that I followed the recipe to the T. The sauce is great as is but I imagine you could add other veggies such as peppers, mushrooms, etc, to your taste. Leftover meatballs will be used tomorrow for meatball grinders! Great recipe!

My whole family loved this recipe & it was very easy - by far, the best spaghetti & meatballs I've ever had! I have extremely picky kids & they even asked for seconds which NEVER happens! Next time I will simmer covered - as written it comes out extremely thick. I might try adding mushrooms or bell peppers every now & then to change it up a bit but they are totally not necessary.

I will be making this again. Simple, tasty recipe with ingredients you have on hand. (Except I only had two eggs on hand, but the meatballs came out great!)

This was probably the absolute best spaghetti and meatball recipe I've ever tried...I mean, I was reading the other reviews and I wasn't so sure, but I was impressed. The only thing I did differently: I added a cup of water every hour. It got a little thick for my liking at about that rate. Outside of that; PERFECT.

Really good. I used cans of diced tomatoes. Browned the meatballs in a skillet, then baked them until done. Thanks for a great recipe.

All I have to say is that this was the best Spaghetti and Meatballs I have every had in my life. I will never buy a jar of spaghetti sauce again. I made mine in my slow cooker and is was awesome. The only thing I changed was the ground pork. I used ground turkey instead and it was awesome! Be sure to take the time and brown the outside of the meat balls. It keeps them so moist and flavorful!

The sauce was the texture of a pizza sauce. It was okay, but the family doesn't want it fixed again.

This is the best recipe for meatballs. I dont eat pork so I left that out. I didnt measure anything and put a little hot pepper flakes in to make it a bit spicy. The meatballs didnt even fall apart.

This recipe was wonderful! I didn't have any saltines so substituted fresh breadcrumbs. The meatballs were very tender and the sauce was rich and delicious. All 4 of my children gave it the thumbs up. I'd certainly make it again.

This sauce, and the meatballs, fell flat. I'm still looking for an excellent recipe.

I really like this recipe. The only altering I did was add a can of diced tomatoes to add a bit of texture. I also added about 1/2 cup red wine that I had on hand. My whole family loved it, and the leftovers the next night were even better.

I usually think that opening a can of spaghetti sauce is much easier and equal in taste to that of homemade, I was so very wrong. I followed the recipe completely only adding two more cloves of garlic. The meatballs were fantastic, my 8 and 5 year old boys, loved the meat which is an amazing feat! I made a double batch and froze half, even if it is half as good as it was fresh it is well worth the time spent to make it!
