These meatballs were a total flop. They were dry, bland, and the sauce was too sweet.

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I made these meatballs with orange juice instead. They were still really good!

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but these meatballs were surprisingly good. The sauce was tangy and the meatballs were tender.

The meatballs were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding more moisture to the meatballs next time.

I've tried many pineapple meatball recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is perfect.
