I'm not sure why this recipe has such good reviews. I followed the recipe exactly and my stew turned out terrible. The meatballs were dry and flavorless, and the sauce was watery and bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

This stew is way too salty for my taste. I had to add a lot of water to tone it down. The meatballs were also a bit dry. I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stew turned out bland and watery. The meatballs were also tough and dry. I'm not sure if I'll be trying this recipe again.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover meatballs. It's also a great meal to make on a cold night. The meatballs are so tender and the sauce is so flavorful. I love serving it over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
