Italian Meatballs with cabbage image

This meal is so good, and the parmasean cheese in the meatballs makes them very deluctible. I prepare the meat the day before so the flavors mingle, plus making the preparation time easier. I also double the meatball recipe because you can't help but sample one or two before the dish is totally done.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and the meatballs are always a hit with my kids.

I thought the cabbage overpowered the meatballs. I would have preferred a smaller amount of cabbage.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out dry and tough. The cabbage was also a bit too crunchy.

I would have liked the meatballs to be a bit more flavorful, but overall this was a good dish.

Not a fan. The meatballs were dry and the cabbage was mushy. I won't be making this dish again.

The meatballs were a bit too dense for my taste, and the cabbage was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These meatballs were juicy and flavorful, and the cabbage added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I would definitely make these again and add more cabbage.
