good and simple recipe. i used it more as a guideline, not following the amounts specifically, but it came out tasty.

I expected this to be great based on all the good reviews, but I have to say the meatballs tasted pretty bad. The texture was there but the flavor reminded me of liver. I have no idea why. My kids complained it was horrible and they wouldn't eat it. My wife liked it, but it's not a keeper for us. I was going to double the recipe, but I'm glad I didn't.

Delicious! Only used half the allspice. Also used chicken broth instead of beef. Will make again.

Delicious and a hit with the whole family. I did add a little dill to the gravy, and I doubled the recipe so we would get another meal out of it.
