Made these meatballs with no olive oil and they turned out great. When mixing the meat I added some shredded parm to the mix. I also used chicken instead of veal. It's a keeper for me.

Very good meatballs! I will make these again leaving out the olive oil (like I accidentally did this time & they turned out fine) and almost eliminate the chiles and cayenne pepper. I could not find veal so I substituted ground chicken. I made a half recipe of sauce and it was plenty but it does need more flavor. I have used gelitan in meatloaf before and it really does make a difference in the texture.

Crockets does not put any olive oil in this recipe, FN has been notified many times why wont they fix the recipe????

I didn't add the olive oil (by accident) annd sincee the meatballs were already rolled I sprinkled them with the oil before I put them in the oven. They turned out good.

My husband is not a big meatball fan, but he loves these. I agree with an earlier review cut back on the chili and oil, the result was the best meatballs I have ever had. Planning on making for Company this weekend!

Great texture and flavor. Way to spicy hot! I put in no hot pepper for second batch and they were great! Used less oil too.

Amazing meatballs, great texture and flavor. But please do not follow the recipe exactly. I only used a drizzle of olive oil and subbed 50/50 beef and pork instead of using veal (for obvious reasons). The meat balls turned out perfect.

I substituted ground chicken for the veal (for cost reasons and availability)

Very tasty. I am not one who cares for meat very often, but this is definitely a great start to changing my mind!

I cut back on the oil in the sauce. 3-4 oz was all I used and I substituted Johnsonville Italian Sausages with the skin removed instead of the ground pork because that is what I had. I also substituted panko bread crumbs for the bread. I lost the recipe at the grocery store and panicked because I thought I might never find it again. My family loved this recipe.

You right Lyndya, I think the oil amount is a typo on this recipe.
JANE W.May 24, 2014
It is on today, May 24 at 2:00pm central if you read this to check the amount. I will probably have it on, I saw it last night and checked today for the recipe. It doesn't mention he used ground sirloin either, not that it matters. I thought FN added a place on the recipes for us to add notes, I don't see it here.
JANE W.May 24, 2014
Okay, I just watched it and he added NO olive oil on the show that I saw. I don't know if it was in the pan he put in the oven maybe, if so, it might have 1/4 of a cup, but I didn't see it there either.

I visited this restaurant a week ago. Meatballs were great! Looking forward to making them at home.

Just ok...a lot of work and prep which is ok if an excellent result is achieved ....I think the main problem was way too much oil in the mixture (3/4 cup which makes the batch way too moist (mushy and made it difficult to keep them together during cooking and once cooked. For a recipe that looked so good on TV I was disappointed. I also wonder if Guy has ever had a dish on DD&D's that was just not good.
