These meatballs can also be made with ground venison instead of the ground beef - they're delicious either way! The recipe is great for parties or other social gatherings because it's simple to make and can easily be doubled.

These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce next time I make them.

I've tried many sweet and sour meatball recipes, but this one is by far the best. The meatballs are so tender and juicy, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again.

These meatballs were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I would probably add more moisture to the meat mixture next time I make them.
