These meatballs are so moist and flavorful. The sauce is perfect, not too sweet and not too tangy.

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding more moisture to the meatballs next time.

These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less sugar next time.
