I only had ground beef on hand but they still turned out wonderfully moist and flavorful! My tip: a great way to get water out of thawed spinach is just to squeeze it with your (clean hands. I put a precautionary sheet pan under the muffin pan (hint from other reviewers - but didn't have a problem with overflow. I cooked them for exactly 20 min. and they were great. However, when I tried to keep them warm in a low oven they did dry out. Will definitely make again.

Very good recipe for meatballs and unique. Especially his suggestion not to put them in red tomato sauce. I put mine over spaghetti and a mixture of olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, parsely, and fresh basil. Very good meal. Also made a nice meatball sub with them too, enjoy!

They were great. My family and I don't care for Lamb, so I substituted ground bison, and it worked well. This will probably be my new standard meatball recipie.

These have to be the easiest and greatest meatballs I've ever made. I even doubled the recipe the first time around and they came out perfect. Love the mini-muffin pan idea. It worked out well and did in fact crisp up the outside of the meatballs.

I'm sorry to say that I missed your show on baked meatballs. I was informed that you made a comment about Italians not frying their meatballs. That must be the mainland Italians, because Sicilians stand by the stove and fry their meatballs. Looking over your recipe, you and I do things quite differently. I will not divulge my recipe to you, but my meatballs are authentically Italian. I'm giving you five stars because I have not tried your recipe, so it's fairer to give you a high rating. If you want to try it my way, send me an email.

All of the meats blend together magnificently alonge with all of the spices and the spinach is a nice touch as well.

I made these for meatball subs but they almost didn't make it until the night we were going to have them on subs. They are great and easy.

Great meat balls! I used ground turkey instead of lamb, and I added some italian seasoning blend and extra salt (actually, I used my favorite salt blend/seasoning salt since a few people commented on a lack of flavor. I baked them on cookie sheets and turned them half way through, and they were perfect! To those who say they were too dry, that depends entirely on the fat content of the meat you use (and possibly over cooking them. One last tip: Don't omit the spinach! Push all the moisture out of the defrosted spinach in a strainer (a lot of water will come out and use it even if you don't like spinach. You can't taste it in the final product, but it adds moisture, texture, and nutrients. (I rated 4 stars since I made a few additions/changes.

I used what I had on hand, omitting the spinach and only using beef--and making them in full-sized muffin pans. They still turned out GREAT. It was easy and tasty, and my husband was asking for more!
