  I've just made this and it was lovely. I added hot smoked paprika to the sauce (and increased the sauce quantity) and added chilli flakes to the meatballs. I think without the paprika and chilli then this would be a bit bland. I also had mine with spinach instead of the roast potatoes.

  Bit confused about what goes on which shelf and when. Is it potatoes on top shelf first or meatballs?

  This was great hubby loved it! I did swap the can of tomatoes for 3 red bell peppers blended with a bit of water and some salt and pepper. Think next time I will flavor the sauce a bit more. Worked great.

  This is great for kids to help make. I agree that a little bit of chilli in the meatballs tastes great. I also use tinned chopped tomatoes for the sauce as my daughter won't eat 'big bits' of tomato and just throw in some cherry tomatoes near the end for the adults. The potatoes always go down well, but it's equally nice with mash or jackets!

  thought the meat balls were rather bland. This one is not a keeper.

  This was just delicious! I used pork instead as that was in the freezer and no breadcrumbs as I was all out and blitzed the lot in the food processor. And I used a cheap jar of pasta sauce - but other than that I followed the recipe!! Its one of those lovely recipes you can tweak and twist to your liking (or whats in the fridge/cupboard) and turns out wonderful every time. And very healthy to boot! The children even ate the brocolli on the promise of second helpings!

  I thought this was lovely and not bland at all! Although I added tomato puree and sun dried tomatoes to the sauce for a bit of extra flavour. Will be having this again!

  Great mid week meal, i used spring onions as I had some to use up and added garlic to the meatballs. Kids loved it and I added chilli to adults to spice it up. Will make again.

  Family seemd to love this and easy to make for a beginner like me. Maybe add more salt to the tomatoes next time though.

  Easy and very tasty, though took other comments on board and added a big teaspoon of smoked paprika to the meatballs, and chopped up a small amount of chorizo (makes it a bit higher in fat, I know), fried it gently, wiped off as much oil as I could and added it to the tin of tomatoes for the sauce. Big hit with everyone.

  Made this with lean minced beef, but equally tasty! Also didn't have tinned cherry toms so just used standard tinned chopped tomatoes. Only downside is the potatoes seemed to be ready sooner than the meatballs so would cut these a but bigger next time to compensate.

  Really lovely meatball recipe - I blitzed all the onion, carrot, rosemary and garlic in a food processor before combining with the turkey mince. For the sauce, I used tinned cherry tomatoes with some added tomato puree and chilli flakes. These aren't bland if you remember to season them! :)

  Just made this for a midweek family meal and we really enjoyed it. I did put plenty of seasoning in and it was tasty and I loved the cherry tomatoes although I used fresh ones. The combination of the crispy potatoes and brocolli was really nice.

  I thought this was great. Good for children and I even left out the seasoning and blitzed it for my baby who is weaning (we then added the seasoning after). We all really enjoyed it.
