I made this on 18-Dec-05. Michelle was absolutely in awe of the sauce. She also confirmed that the meatballs need to be very small... Mike...

I liked this recipe, but would personally make some changes next time including the fact that I thought I was making the meatballs small enough but soon realized that they weren't when I got them on the skillet. Also, I would probably boil the meatballs instead of browning them and my taste tester (my fiance) prefers things a little more tart so I would us a little less brown sugar. All in all it was a VERY good and easy recipe.

The sauce is a good and tangy. I think I might try baking the meatball to cut down on the fat. I got 6 dozen meatballs. Plenty for my family of eight!

I just finished making this, and it was really bad. My family could not eat it. There was too much ground mustard in the sauce and too much cidar vinegar. Plus, the meatballs did not need MORE mustard in them. We threw the whole thing away! What a HUGE waste of time and money. I'll never make this again.
