Sounds good and quite easy, but is there a way to cut down on the sodium without losing the tase.

I thought these were very tasty,and putting the sauce in first does help them not stick together,thanks for the tip :)

This is now a staple in our house. I use premade meatballs when pressed for time. This is one of my easier meals!

I was very disappointed in this. Meatballs were too moist and either fell apart while cooking or just were mushy. There was not much flavor either. Don't think I'll waste my time and money on this one again. Sorry :(

I have made these several times. only i use oatmeal in mine too. quick oats that is. i also flour and panfried them first that cut down on the grease which you can absorb with a paper towel. its pretty easy and yummy

These meatballs are tasty and moist, and the sauce is delicious.

I made these yesterday, and they were Ok. I had to alter the recipe quite a bit for taste. They were a bit bland as is. I added some spice blend (emeril essence) to the meatballs and added some blackberry preserves (what I had in the fridge), A-1 sauce, worcesire(sp?) sauce, and hot pepper vinegar. I would not make these again as is, but I like the oatmeal for the meatballs instead of bread crumbs. It was a difference in texture that worked. Thank you anyway, and thank you for the many recipes and fun in cooking I have had with Taste of Home.

I use ground venison with no fat added. No grease problem.

I Agree there is to much grease.
