Fantastic! Easy prep work. I used spaghetti sauce I needed to move out.

We ended up adding a litte bit more parmesean cheese and milk to make it mix better. This was excellent and reheated nicely in the sauce.

I used extra lean turkey and these were still very moist. Served w/ sauce over spagetti! Yum!

These were possibly the best homemade meatballs that I've ever had. My husband and I both loved them, and I've even told some family members about the recipe. I will definitely be using this as my official meatball recipe.

When I make this recipe again, I will reduce the amount of cheese. It seemed to cheesy to me. Next time I will not mix the cheese into the meat. I will just sprinkle it on top of the dish before serving. It was easy to make and the sauce was tasty.

I loved how easy it was, and how good they tasted. I substituted hand-shredded parm for the grated, and doubled both the salt and the pepper. I won't say which canned pasta sauce I used... ;-) A recipe like this is only as good as the meat you put in it!

Nobody in my family ever liked my meatballs, no matter what recipe I tried, UNITL I tried this one. It was a hit. Its really good. Very easy too. Spagetti and meatballs are finally back at our house. I made meatball "heros" the next day for lunch with melted mozerella cheese on top.
