I really enjoyed these little "footballs!" hehe. The sauce was good, though I felt it was missing something...maybe a little more seasoning? I used fresh garlic and parsley. The fresh cilantro sprinkled on top was great...I love the little burst of flavor fresh herbs give a dish. I will definately make these again, and will play with the sauce a little...I'm thinking maybe a hint of cloves and oregano....Thanks for the recipe, Michelle!

This recipe is a winner! It was easy to make and I had all the ingredients on hand - what more could you ask? I did add one more can of tomato sauce so I could serve it over pasta with plenty of sauce, and I minced a big, fat clove of garlic into it instead of using garlic powder, but just 'cause I like fresh garlic so much. I served it over pasta with parmesan sprinkled on top - we loved it! I'll make this over and over!

SPELLED really yyuummmmyy when cooking, but upon eating it I was a bit disappointed. I opted to use more garlic powder and 1/2tsp cumin, but still found that it needed a little more kick. It made for an "OK" meal, but didn't live up to my expectations. Maybe next time I will throw in so red pepper, and some majoram, maybe even a little nutmeg.
