I use this recipe from my old Betty Crocker cookbook, but the amount of tomato sauce called for is a 15 oz. can (the big one). Otherwise I can see where the sauce would be watery and not enough. I also do not use instant rice in the meatball mixture - long grain works fine - and I increase the spices to taste. With these changes, the meatballs work for me every time and never fail to please a crowd. Hope this helps.

These turned out to be a bit of a disappointment for us. The meatballs themselves are fine, if not a little lacking in flavor. The sauce on the other hand didn't work at all. It was watery, there was no body to it at all and the taste was just off somehow. My DH actually drained his off and heated up some Ragu and dipped them in that. I would make these meatballs again adding in some other herbs and/or spices maybe, but I'd skip this sauce entirely. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
