I don’t know, they were kinda bland to me. Maybe more spice next time?
Easy to make, but my meatballs fell apart. I don’t think I mixed them enough. 😕
These meatballs were a hit at dinner! So juicy and flavorful. Will definitely make again!
Meh, meatballs ain’t that special. Just okay, not sure what’s the hype?
I don’t have fresh parsley so I used dried, hope it’s okay. Can anyone let me know if it will taste bad?
I dunno, I’ve always heard fresh is better. Maybe it will taste ok, but I wouldn’t bet on it!
Dried parsley should be fine! It might taste a bit different, but not bad. Just use a little less since it’s more concentrated.
These meatballs are delicious! So much flavor. I added some chili flakes for a kick! Definitely a keeper.
Chili flakes sounds like a great idea! I’m gonna try that next time. Thanks for sharing!
I tried these meatballs too! But they did not turn out as flavorful for me. Maybe I didn’t add enough garlic? 🤔
So easy to make! I made it with turkey instead and they were still great. Will make again!
Nice to hear! Turkey is a great alternative. Did you use any other spices?
I don’t think turkey would taste as good. Chicken has that much better flavor.
This is too complicated for me. Just give me a burger instead. K.I.S.S.
I get it, burgers are easier! But these meatballs could be worth a shot. Maybe less mess?
I tried this recipe but it didn’t work for me. My meatballs were too dry. Maybe I used too much bread?
Hmm, I doubt these would be good without any cheese. Is that even a thing? Meatballs gotta have cheese!
You don’t need cheese to make meatballs! These sound flavorful as they are. Give it a try!
I can’t even imagine meatballs without cheese. Seems like a big miss to me!
Can I use beef instead of chicken? I’ve never made chicken meatballs before. Kinda scared!
Yummm 😋
Garlic is too strong, I couldn’t handle it! Next time I’m cutting back. Good shape tho.
Did you really say 1/4 cup of parsley? That’s not enough, should’ve added more for flavor. Just saying.
They turned out dry for me. Did I miss something? I followed the recipe but not happy with the texture.
Simple and quick! Perfect for a busy weeknight. I added some chili flakes for a kick and it was delicious! ❤️
This sounds too easy. Are they really that good? I’m skeptical… 🤔
I totally agree! The chili flakes make all the difference. Love this recipe! 🥰
Really nice! My kids loved them too. I served with spaghetti, so good!
These meatballs were amazing! So juicy and flavorful, my kids devoured them. Definitely a new family favorite!
Wow, these little balls are packed with flavor! Would make them again! 🙌
Do u think I could use turkey instead of chicken? I have some leftovers to use.
