2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 4 ounces)

  • Serve over noodles or rice, and round out the meal with steamed sugar snaps or green beans.

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time I make them.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my meatballs didn't turn out as good as I expected. The sauce was bland and the meatballs were tough.

The meatballs were a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid to the sauce.

I've made these meatballs several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The blue cheese adds a nice tanginess to the sauce.
