This recipe, as is, is much too bland for my tastes. I felt like it needed more sauce and seasoning. The meatballs were good. I do not have much more input, it was just pretty average overall.

I made this quite-easy casserole for dinner this evening. It got thumbs up all the way around. I added a few more seasonings to the meat mixture because we like our meatballs spicier. Even our two young guests, my nephews, ate enthusiastically and then told me to tell their mom how to fix it.
