I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but I really enjoyed these. The sauce was flavorful and the meatballs were cooked perfectly.

These meatballs were a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would probably cut the amount of sugar in the sauce in half next time.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. I love that I can throw everything in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinnertime.

This recipe was a disaster! The meatballs were dry and tough, and the sauce was way too sweet.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to the meatballs to give them some flavor.

This recipe was so easy to follow, and the meatballs turned out amazing. I used ground turkey instead of pork, and they were still delicious.
