     These meatballs are spicy and yummy.Very satisfying. I doubled the recipe and froze them for later! Tip: Use a melon-baller to form meatballs, and Bake at 400 degrees on a cookie sheet for 12 minutes. Couldn't be easier! - 8/23/09

     Mama Mia! That's A Spicy Meat-a-ball! I lowered the cals a bit more & upped the fiber a LOT by using 1/4 cup oat bran instead of bread crumbs-that worked out great. Used Italian style turkey sausage too. Added a touch of ketchup, baked at 350 for 1/2 hr and MAN ARE THEY GOOD! - 2/11/11

     These are fantastic! The only thing I would change is about 1/8 of a cup more breadcrumbs. I also used a whole egg instead of 2 egg whites and they turned out perfectly! - 4/2/09

     I looooove these meatballs! I like to put them over penne pasta with a red sauce. I also add about a tsp. of Worcestershire sauce to give it a little extra zip. The whole family loves these. - 1/19/10

     I made this for dinner with whole wheat pasta and pasta sauce. They had a great flavor and just enough of a kick! Awesome recipe! - 7/14/11

     This was an absolute delicious recipe! My husband who is a meatball lover said these were the best he'd ever had and would like more to be used on hoagies in the very near future! Thank you for sharing the recipe, I followed it exactly and it was perfect! - 1/14/10

     Very good!! I added some basil and used whole wheat spaghetti and prego heart healthy sauce with some added onions and muchrooms. My husband said he could barely tell the difference between the ground beef ones I made and these. - 5/18/13

     Chagnes - Added 1 tsp liquid smoke & 1 tsp worchestire suace and used Slap Yo Mamma instead of cayenne
    Sauted meatballs in 1 tbsp olive oil for about 2 mintues (flipping to sear each side) then cooked in the oven for 10 minutes. Simmered in ragu sauce for about 5 minutes after cooked and DELICIOUS! - 5/6/10

     I have made these using leftover turkey, chopped in food processor with red and green bell peppers, celery and onions. Good use for leftovers! - 11/26/09

     I added marinara and made sub sandwiches. I served the subs with red and yellow peppers, onions, and lettuce. My whole family liked them. I will make them again soon, maybe with whole wheat pasta next time. - 1/23/09
