    Not great, but definitely good! I don't think there's a need to add more herbs if you're using Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. I wish they would have been browner, too. I think next time I'll skip the herbs, cook the meatballs on a higher heat, and then have them cook a while in a pot of (red) gravy. - 2/4/11

    Too plain for us. My hubby insisted on a sauce, which made them better. The kids liked them though. - 7/12/07

    I rarely like beef but I LOVE these meatballs. I added chopped onion. I braised in pan and finished off in the oven on a piece of foil. Magnificent!! - 6/26/07
