I usually like Tyler recipes but this one just didn't work for me.

To use all 3 pounds of meat the meatballs had to be HUGE. I ended up making 11 meatballs but had to throw one or because they were still really large. When it came time to put them in the oven I was prettyositive ther weren't going to cook in 15 minutes so I did 25. When I took them out of the oven there was a layer of what looked like fat and oil and they were still pretty raw in the middle.

I made about a 1/2 batch, and using an average ice cream scoop, it made something like 15 meatballs. (I think Tyler must be making them tennis ball sized!
I used sweet Italian sausage instead of plain ground pork, and didn't add any salt or pepper. They were perfect (even to my boyfriend, who salts everything before he even tastes. BTW, meatballs don't get "tough" from over mixing, they get tough from packing them tightly and over-cooking them. I cooked them until a meat thermometer registered "well done".

I thought the meatballs were fabulous. I used whole grain bread but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. My family loved them. I used my own homemade pasta sauce.

The meatballs were bland. Instead of ground pork use ground italian sausage. Add more salt to the meat mixture.

I think these meatballs taste good and were pretty easy to make. I don't know what size Tyler's were, but I had about 17 large golf ball sized ones. They will not cook in 15 minutes! I too did a test batch of two to see if I needed to add more salt or pepper. I cooked them for 30 minutes and they still needed time, so when I did the rest of the batch, I cooked them for 45 minutes and I think that was too long. They were a little dry on the outside and still ok in the middle. I made these ahead, so I will simmer them in a jarred sauce before serving them and hopefully they will be ok. Not a bad meatball recipe for my first time. I used breadcrumbs since I had them on hand. Add them to the meat and then add the milk to everything. Don't soak them in the milk first. Didn't work for me.

I liked these meatballs. I used 2/3 ground beef and 1/3 ground pork because that is the mix my market had available. I made 32 meatballs-each about a 3 biter. Thanks to the reviewer who suggested making 1 or 2 small meatballs to taste before preparing the rest. I did this and added a bit more seasoning.
