Yum! These were so good. To make them lower carb, I used Splenda instead of sugar and it was really good. I put them into a slow cooker and it make them so good.

I've made this recipe several times since I found in last fall, and we just love it. Yesterday, since I was only making a half batch, I just added the sauce to the skillet, covered it and cooked on low until the meatballs were done.

Great recipe! My husband and kids loved them as well. I will definitely make them again. They will be great to take to church, too.

Made this recipe twice in only three weeks! Would definitely make it again. The flavor reminds me of homemade meatloaf! Delicious & you will crave it as soon as leftovers are gone!!

This was delicious! I didn't have time to make an appetizer and an entree so I bought fresh baguettes and melted some mozzarella on them and let my boys make mini meat ballsandwiches! Paired with a salad it was a hit for sure. I also used a slow cooker.

Made these for New Year's. They were great. I added a little red pepper for a sweet and spicy sauce.

These meatballs were so good. I also put them in a slow cooker on high for an hour rather than putting them in the oven. I was afraid they would be "ketchupy" but they were just delicious.

RE: Appetizer MeatballsI love this recipe and get many compliments on it. After browning meatballs in a skillet, I put them in a slow cooker with sauce and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.

These meatballs are so good I make them whenever we have parties. It never seems to make enough as they are always gone very fast.

Yum! These are really tasty and made with staple ingredients. I've made them for many parties. Sometimes, instead of baking them with the sauce in the oven I just put them in the slow cooker on low for an hour or two before the party starts. That keeps them warm through the whole party and saves me from washing another dish (I usually transfer them to a slow cooker anyway).
