	Tip2 It was amazing, I omitted the vinegar though. 6 days, 23 hours, 37 minutes ago
	Joekane80 Sauce was not good at all. Vinegar was overwhelming. Meatballs were ok but nothing special. 3 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 20 hours, 1 minutes ago
	Amyk265 I recently made this recipe for a party. The sauce tasted pretty good but the vinegar was very strong and I didn't even use the full cup the recipe calls for. If I make this again, I plan to decrease the vinegar significantly since I couldn't get past the smell. 5 months, 6 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes ago
	Ladams78 Meatballs were good. Sauce made too much and was a little too sweet for our taste, but good flavor. I'll cut back the sugar next time. 5 months, 3 weeks, 4 hours, 41 minutes ago
	ccasto84 I made these for the first time for a work pot-luck and they were a surefire WINNER. Everyone loved them, and I work with all women who barely eat enough to keep a bird alive. :) They licked the platter clean, and they sure are delicious. The sauce is just spicy enough for a subtle kick on the aftertaste. Very delicious. Will definitely be making these frequently. 8 months, 4 days, 37 minutes ago
	Celinama Looooves it!! I add fresh chopped basil leaves and served with pasta. Everyone just keep asking for more.. Will make it again definitely! 1 years, 1 weeks, 5 days, 11 hours, 30 minutes ago
	paddie713 The first time I made these they went perfectly. Even chopped the onions a little to big and they were still great. Awesome recipe. 1 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, ago
	Fatbikez was delicious. only problem was the meatballs fell apart easy! 1 years, 6 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 23 hours, 56 minutes ago
	pcookie Unfortunately, this recipe not only tastes (and smells) bad, but everyone in the family got a horrible stomach ache. Never again. 1 years, 8 months, 1 weeks, 2 days, 9 hours, 48 minutes ago
	Mrzmoravac This recipe is great! I added my own ingredients like 3/4 cup of Gates Kansas City BBQ sauce for more bbq flavoring ad I also lessened the vinegar to 3/4 an added 1/2 cup of water to balance it out. I also added some corn starch to thicken the sauce and placed everything in a crockpot. A bot of garlic powder sets the sauce off as well! Fantastic recipe! My husband loved it and I will be making it for a large party soon! 1 years, 10 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 20 hours, 56 minutes ago
	Fryd-egg Really enjoyed 'em. Very spicy indeed, went down a treat with the kids. In fact Monday has become a regular BBQ meatball night 1 years, 11 months, 6 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes ago
	gsangel We made this tonight for dinner & served it over brown rice. It was really delish, but heavy on the vinegar. Next time I will cut down on the vinegar. The ratio of sauce to meat & rice was perfect. 2 years, 1 months, 1 weeks, 3 days, 22 hours, 39 minutes ago
	RandomCuisine The meatballs were a huge hit yesterday, but I felt there were too much cider vinegar, I would reduce to 3/4 cup cider vinegar + add 1/4 cup water. In my experience with sauce, it should be slightly thick, I added 2 tbsp cornstarch. Also, I think 4-5 tbsp mustard should be enough. For the meatballs, I didn't put any milk, oil or mustard. 2 years, 4 months, 5 days, 7 hours, 35 minutes ago
	bszabo Oh yes, I will definitely make this again! 2 years, 6 months, 1 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes ago
	mlbattani I liked the meatballs and would use them for other recipes. The sauce was good but we had leftovers and the longer they sat in the sauce the tangier they got they were not any good the next day. Too tangy. 2 years, 7 months, 2 weeks, 1 days, 11 hours, 44 minutes ago
	clydester This was a big hit at our house. It's a keeper. I did add more garlic to the meatballs and added two cloves to the sauce also. 3 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 6 hours, 17 minutes ago
	cascher Everyone loved it, I cheated and used frozen meatballs and it cut the time in half and it was still excellent. 3 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 1 days, 6 hours, 29 minutes ago
	aeyre The meatballs were very tender and tasty. The cider vinegar has a strong odor, but you cannot really taste it. I made the meat balls between 3/4' and 1' in diameter. I cooked them on two sides then added the sauce and simmered about 15 minutes. Very nice. I didn't track the time, but about an hour sounds right. 3 years, 6 months, 4 weeks, 5 hours, 2 minutes ago
	ambbarber 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. 4 years, 2 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours, 22 minutes ago
	rkcomeau 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! 4 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, 6 days, 2 hours, 17 minutes ago
