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...

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.13y
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.14y
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.14y
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.15y
cascher ,Everyone loved it, I cheated and used frozen meatballs and it cut the time in half and it was still excellent.15y
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.15y
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.15y
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!16y
racheldillin ,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.17y
