Its good but not to die for. Over all it's very tasty but really wont crave for it. Better eaten hot than room temperature. Thanks for sharing.

    I am SHOCKED at how much this resembles a meatball. My roomie is very meat and potatoes, and she had nothing but great things to say about this. I'm going to use the leftovers for a meatball sub. THANKS!

    You would never be able to tell these werent made with beef if they were in a pot of spaghetti sauce. They were really good, I had mine on the side with a little sauce. I used fresh bread crumbs, ran out and threw in about 8 crushed crackers to top up. I rolled them when they were really moist but could form a ball and they were nice and moist after cooking too.

    These were tasty. They tasted exactly like eggplant parmesan, which if you look at the ingredients is eggplant parmesan in a different form. I followed the recipe exactly, and then simmered them in sauce, however they were breaking apart in the sauce after just 10 minutes. Next time I won't simmer them in sauce, just pour the sauce over right before serving. I also, made a double batch to freeze.
