    WONDERFUL! Made one oops and it turned out great. I added 4tsp brown mustard to the meat AND the sauce. Great mistake! I also baked it in the oven in a 9x13 pan @325° for 60 minutes with a lid and @350° for 15 minutes without the lid. love it love it love it. WILL make again. - 6/14/08

    Have been making these for over 50 years (since I was a kid) and have found that if you let the meatballs sit for awhile before cooking, they taste even better. I keep some made up and freeze them for days I don't feel like doing anything. - 3/26/09

    If you cook the rice first you can leave out the tomato sauce and the meatballs should keep their shape better. - 3/26/09
