I made these for a co-workers going away party. The honey-mustard flavor was incredible. The meatballs were juicy and moist. Very tangy. The crowd gobbled them up quickly. I should have doubled the recipe and will next time. Thanks Nurse Di. -
I made these for my parent's end of summer throw down. I doubled the recipe and am glad. The meatballs were moist. The sauce was sweet-tart. They had a great mustard flavor which we all liked. I also liked this because it is different from the usual meatball appetizer. Thanks Nurse Di.

These were tasty and light. I browned them on top of the stove (too hot here for the oven!), removed from the pan, added all the sauce ingredients and put the meatballs back in until done. Thanks for posting! -
These were delicious and the closest recipe I've found to the ones my grandmother used to make. My only complaint is that mine were too dry. Maybe next time I'll try adding the sauce earlier in the process; I may toss them and coat them in the cause before putting them back in the oven for the final ten minutes. Otherwise, great recipe! -
I am one of those honey mustard lovers! We really enjoy these meatballs and so does everyone I serve them to. They make a great addition to our Sunday Afternoon Football Game Gatherings! Thanks for posting!
