Flavor was great but it fell apart like crazy and stuck to the pan terribly.

The meatballs were moist and tasty. After 20 minutes there was 3/8 inch of water in the pan. I drained the water and put them back in the oven for 10 minutes to brown up a bit. I didn’t use the sauce as the color was not what I want to eat! Just half the ingredients: yogurt and salsa

Nothing special

This is good but I changed a few things. We don’t use cumin because of food allergies with some family members and my family doesn’t like black beans so I used pinto beans instead and I use 3 T. dehydrated cilantro, 2 tsp. minced garlic(1 for meatballs-1 for tomatoes sauce) plus 2 tsp. shallots divided the same way. I used chopped green chile tomatoes that I ran through the blender for a sauce to put them in after I cooked them and then place in the crock pot to keep it warm. My family and friends most have liked them because none were left that evening.
