I LOVE THESE MEATBALLS!! They are so DELICIOUS... The sour cream really keeps them moist in the middle. The fennel seed was wonderful flavor addition. They didn't fall apart they were perfect and nice and golden brown! I can't wait to make them for my husbands Italian family they are going to love them. This is a definite recipe for keeps.

I'm never a big fan of reviews that call a recipe great and then explain all they did to modify it, so I think this is a good base recipe you can tweak to your tastes - which is what I did. The ratios she uses work well for the base pieces and you can add what you want. I added balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, italian seasoning herbs and onion powder. I skipped the fennel seeds because I didn't want to go too far towards a sausage flavor. The sour cream is a great touch! Not sure what Dorothy did that hers fell apart, but mine had no problem. I did put them in the refridge to set for about an hour, I do this with hamburger recipes as well, maybe that could help in keeping them together.

The flavor was good but the meatballs completely fell apart upon browning. What a hassle! Won't try this one again.

I made the meatballs and marinara sauce this week after seeing it on Food Network this weekend. My son came into the kitchen and tasted the sauce.
His first comment was "It is perfect". That is a complement! Then I proceeded with the meatballs and simmered them in the sauce. I only got rave reviews.
The only ingredient I did not have was the fennel seeds...I purchased them today. Can't wait to try something else.

This was a very easy recipe I followed it to a "T" and the only thing I would do differently is to cut the red pepper flakes by half in both the sauce and meatballs....I love spicy, hot foods but it was a bit much....as for the flavors, they were wonderful and the fennel seeds so flavorful and there was certainly nothing BLAND about this dish!

I followed the recipe and fried up a small one to taste and I thought they were lacking in flavor. I added plenty of fresh cracked black pepper and garlic to enhance the flavor.

Well, my husband hates meatballs because he says they are always mushy and tasteless like bread instead of meat. So we watched your show and as you made your meatballs he kept saying "Oh, hmmm....wow...." and etc. so I said, "but you don't like meatballs" to which he replied "I'm pretty sure I would like these!"

So short story...he and I love them. I have wanted to make good meatballs forever and now I can. Talk about comfort food. Savory, moist, yummy and just big enough to pop in your mouth and enjoy a good chew all mixed in with the wonderful tomato sauce...mmmmm!

Thanks!

P.S. You are really good at making a person extraordinarily hungry while you are cooking. Could practically smell the kitchen!

I have been trying to find that perfect meatball for years and finally my biggest critic (my son said I finally did it!

These were the best meatballs I have not only ever made but eaten! I do not add the fennel because I don't like the taste and I changed the pork to beef, veal and pork! Amazing!

I loved these meatballs and the ingredients. They have a lot of flavor. I added pepper and onions to my mixture as well. I normally make meatballs using ground beef, but the pork was just as good if not better.
