Christy's Meatballs or Meatloaf image

My sister made these meatballs one night when we were in high school and she was learning to cook. The sauce is delicious and the meat can easily be made into a meatloaf for a great week-night dinner.

Not a fan. The meatballs were bland and the sauce was too sweet. I wouldn't make these again.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but they had a good flavor. I think I would add some more bread crumbs or milk to the mixture next time.

Just made these tonight and they were a hit! So easy to make and so delicious. I used half ground beef and half ground turkey, and they were still very moist and flavorful.

Easy to make and very tasty! I used a combination of ground beef and pork, and added some chopped mushrooms and onions to the mixture. The meatballs were cooked through evenly and had a nice texture.

These meatballs were absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. They were moist and flavorful, with a crispy crust. I served them with spaghetti and marinara sauce, and they were a huge hit with my family.
