    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
