Old-Fashioned Spaghetti & Meatballs

Wonderful meal for a fall weekend! This recipe can be changed around a lot. I doubled the meat as 8 oz of meat did not sound right. I'll use garlic powder next time in place of the cloves and cut the parsley in half as our son does not like. I could sprinkle it on top of my serving. Pros: Very healthy ingredients and basically a one-dish stand alone entree. Cons: Did take me quite a while to prepare. Our son prefers garlic powder & no parsley.

WHOA on the onion! Well, I cannot agree with the rave reviews and I can't believe this is a kid friendly meal with all the onion! I guess with all the bulgur wheat you have to add the onion (not to mention fatty sausage). It is unfortunate that I was optimistic and made a double recipe so my family will see these again from the freezer. This was a nine thumbs down in my house of ten thumbs. Pros: friendly recipe to follow

Good but... maybe too much fiberMy review is really for the meatballs since I used bottled sauce. The meatballs were tasty and cooked up just fine. The only problem is, with all the extra fiber courtesy of the bulgur (along with whole wheat pasta), a small lunch of this dish gives both me and my husband a solid dose of indigestion. It expands quite a bit once I eat it.Just a word of caution.Pros: Healthy, tastyCons: Gives us indigestion

Simple and Delicious!I used this recipe the first time I made meatballs. It was very simple and the meatballs were excellent. I substituted wheat germ for the breadcrumbs. The wheat germ gave the meatballs a great nutty flavor. Everyone loved them!!

I used canned tomatoes and some extra seasoning instead of marinara sauce and it tasted great. I also used turkey italian sausage instead of pork. Also, I've been subbing quick oats for breadcrumbs in my meatball and meatloaf recipe for years. It doesn't change the flavor and it cuts down on sodium, something I've been trying really hard to do for my 1 year old.
