These meatballs were a disappointment. They were dry and bland, and the sauce was too sweet. I won't be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but these were actually really good. The cheese stuffing made them extra special.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. The cheese stuffing was a nice touch.

The meatballs were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would make them again, but I would add more moisture to the meatballs next time.

The meatballs were delicious, but the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. I would make them again, but I would use a different sauce next time.

The meatballs were a little too salty for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would make them again, but I would use less salt next time.
