I'm a vegetarian, but I made these meatballs with tofu instead of meat and they were delicious! I highly recommend this recipe for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

These meatballs were good, but not great. I think they could have been more flavorful.

These meatballs were a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

I'm not usually a fan of meatballs, but these were really good! The combination of ground beef, pork, and veal made them so tender and juicy. The sauce was also very flavorful.

I made these meatballs for a party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. I especially liked that they were baked instead of fried, which made them a little healthier.
