Not sure why, but my meatballs wouldn't hold together. Flavour was good.

I thought these were fantastic, and I would use this recipe exclusively from now on! The mixture came together so easily, the texture was perfect, and the taste was great. I ran out of garlic, so I used garlic salt and omitted the extra salt. I also used dried minced onion and sprinkled liberally. I had only Italian seasoned bread crumbs, but those made the flavor amazing, so I'd use them every time. I ran out of beef bouillion granules, so I actually used 2 chicken bouillion cubes and 2 cups water, and it made the perfect amount of gravy. Finally, we had no noodles, so I made 4 servings of mashed potatoes, which was a perfect balance of flavors. I think I would always use chicken broth instead. It almost tasted like a stroganoff or a swedish meatball recipe because of the more delicate flavor of the chicken broth. Very surprising and delicious! Thanks!

This was really easy to make and all of the ingredients were on hand. The meatballs came out tender and with a perfect texture. They were however lacking in flavor. I would double the garlic and maybe add some herbs next time.

My child says "top notch" and "best of the best". We made this with ground turkey instead of round and since we didn't have beef broth, we used chicken broth. The gravy was great and the mild taste of the meatball went over really well. I liked the mildness, it makes these meatballs a good base recipe to build with. Next time, I think I'll add meatloaf ingredients to the meat mix and serve it with garlic mashed potatoes.

These were excellent! I think next time I will use 2 cans of broth, for more gravy. Thanks!
