Meet the Cook: When I serve these, my husband and sons, 6 and 9, are often fooled into thinking we're having plain meatballs until they cut into the flavorful filling inside. -Cathy Lendvoy, Boharm, Saskatchewan

I loved these meatballs. I used the leftovers with spaghetti. Delicious!

We had high hopes for these meatballs... we tried to fry some and bake some but no one in our home liked them.

I made this recipe with ground turkey instead of beef and baked them instead of frying. They were tasteful and my family liked them.

I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and baked these instead of frying them. They were really good. I think next time I would either skip the breading or just use panko crumbs. Less hassle than crushing up the saltines.

Loved the texture on the outside! Meat balls were very tasty. Family loved them.

I'd like to suggest try baking them instead of frying in a 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes (+/-).

We didn't care for these meatballs. Cooking them in oil made them soggy and very greasy.
