These were delicious! I baked them for 35 minutes and then simmered in spaghetti sauce for another 20 minutes. Came out perfect!

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.

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.
