Honey Garlic Appetizer Meatballs
"Been making these for years always receiving rave reviews from family and friends. There is quite a bit of garlic in the recipe, but after being sauteed the flavor soaks into the meatballs and sauce."

I changed it up a little but really enjoyed it. I lessened the ketchup and upped the soy sauce and used quite a bit of butter. I put it all in the food processor as I was worried about garlic chunks. We had it that evening at a party and it was good. The leftovers the next night were outstanding. -
My first time making meatballs - it was delicious! I used ground round and there was virtually nothing to drain after baking - very lean. The meatballs tasted delicious even before adding sauce. The sauce was sweet and delicious! I froze ahead and then folowed crockpot re-heating instructions - worked great! -
I made this last night. It was very good. I didn't think there was enough sauce for all the meatballs but it worked out perfectly - they were nicely coated, looked wonderful and tasted great. -
Kinda disspointing bit of a weird taste could use less onion

This was just good for me, but for My Nephew who has only had store bought loved it and had two helpings, my Husband is generally not a big eater and he had 2 helpings, same with my Mother in law, So I think it fair to give it 5 stars since it was just my "taste", Oh and I made it just as written except I didn't slice my garlic I minced it :)
