  absolutely delicious!!!!

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Very easy to make, and VERY flavorful! Use the smaller cilinegine mozzarella balls and you can make about 17 meatballs with only 1 lb of meat!

  Not as much pepper nextime

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  The meatballs were a little too peppery for my taste but otherwise delicious! I used a different sauce, but will probably try this one and add my own spin to it next time. The recipe is great!

  My family gave it an A+++++++++++++

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  We all loved these meatballs, my kids enjoyed the cheese in the middle. I will make them again, I may also try it in a meatloaf. Took the recipe to work and shared with my co-workers.

  So good, you'll double the recipe

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  These were a HUGE hit with the family!!!! I did cut back on the pepper and onion soup mix but that is a personal preference (don't really care for pepper). The smoky bacon, creamy cheese and crispy bread crumbs made a fantastic combination. I made them for my sister's 40th birthday party Sunday. I'm forwarding the recipe to most of the guests!

  Loved the meatballs!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made these with the sauce . Loved the meatballs, but the sauce, not so much. It made the meatballs seem too bacony for some reason and didn't have that tang I was looking for. I had a bunch of meatballs left over, so I made my own marinara: 2 - 3 pounds of roma tomatoes, sliced lengthwise and drizzled with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and dried herbs, roasted cut side up in the oven at 250 for five hours (yes, all afternoon!). I piled them all into a saucepan, added some red wine and a pinch of sugar, then blended it smooth with a stick blender. Best darn marinara in the world! The perfect tanginess to cut the heavy richness of the meatballs, and so easy to make. Paired with the garlic bread (which you do indeed gotta have!), this is my new favorite meal!

  The cheese in the middle makes it extra special!

  Meatballs were very good! My mistake with using beef bacon-but that's a cook error-no slight to Aaron's recipe. Keep them coming Aaron! Love your show!

  Are You Kidding Me!!!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I don't have words well only this, these meatballs are perfection. I wouldn't add these to a spaghetti sauce they don't need it as a matter of fact it would probably ruin them if that's possible. LOVE IT!

  Amazing Taste!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  While I will admit I haven't cared for several of Aaron's recipes that I tried (specifically his Steak au Poivre), this is a real hit in our house! I made the meatballs with the sauce. I've left out the cheese and made hamburgers and sometime this week I'll probably made this as a meatloaf. They would be great cold meatloaf sandwiches I bet! And I especially like this episode with his son where he's acting like a normal father instead of a so "over the top" car salesman.

  My Family Gave Big Daddy's Meatball's Two Thumbs Up!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I have been making home-made meatballs for 20+ years and my family said that the meatballs I made from this recipe were the best ever. Thanks Big Daddy - I love your show. I especially loved it when you were cooking with your son - he was great.

  Best Meatballs EVER!!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I'm not usually a big spaghetti and meatballs fan, but when I saw Aaron make these I had to try them. I didn't make my own sauce but bought an amazing sauce in a jar (my mom was outraged that I spent $8 for a jar of sauce, but she thought it was amazing once she tried it.) I used low-carb spaghetti, 'cause that's what I had on hand. The three combined to become the best spaghetti and meatballs I've ever had. I can't wait to try the leftover meatballs on a meatball sub tomorrow. Thank you, Big Daddy. I suspect you can do no wrong.

  Good for a quick no-fuss meatball

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  These meatballs were easy to make and fun to eat, but... there are definitely better tasting meatballs out there. I only used 2/3 of the packet based on other reviews about the saltiness but I still didn't care for the onion soup mix in there. I think these meatballs would be better as an appetizer or in a meatball sandwich rather than in spaghetti. To me, the flavors just didn't go together. Great garlic bread, can't wait to try the salad!

  So Delicious... A Triple Treat!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  When I saw this episode I knew I had to make these meatballs. I love bacon, I love cheese and I love meat... this recipe was a triple treat for me. They are absolutely easy to make and very tasty. I just couldn't believe how good they were. Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

  WOW!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I just made these meatballs tonight and they were fantastic! They really dressed up spaghetti night. We have friends over evey other week for spaghetti and everyone loved them. I will make these meatballs over and over. The only thing I did different was that I had a pound and a half of meat instead of one pound. Thanks Big Daddy you are the best!

  My GOODNESS!!!!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made the Cheese Bacon Stuffed Meatballs last night for my family and they loved it!!! I forget to get Applewood smoked bacon, and just got regular thick sliced bacon but I used fresh Italian parsley in it. I woke up this am with it on my mind, I can't wait to make it again and play around with the recipe. I think I will try it with Ground Turkey next time. I also made the Gotta Have it Garlic Bread.....No one wanted to wait for the salad but I will make the Eggplant croutons soon! Both recipes are GREAT.

  5 Star meatballs

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This is a great recipe, it is easy and delicious. You can use in other ways also, like meatloaf or burgers. The cheese is right on point. Our family really enjoyed it, and will be adding it to our fall/winter menu. Someone said in a previous comment that it was salty, mind didn't turn out salty at all. The seasoning was perfect!! This is a definate dish to try.
