Followed this recipe as written... Will not be making again. My boys didn't like it either! I have to say the quality of the recipe probably has alot to do with the brand of meatball used... I would much rather make meatballs from scratch and throw in a slow cooker and serve with pasta. The noodles absorb all the sauce and it's dry and bland. The cheese cooks on top like a blanket.
