I've been buying frozen meatballs from Sam's for many years even before it became the private label version currently offered. I just finished oven baking a full bag (6 lbs.) on a half sheet hotel pan. Wow, I cannot believe how much oil is in the pan after cooking the full bag. I actually spilled hot oil on our kitchen floor while lifting the hot out of the oven pan onto the stovetip to cool. I'm guessing I blotted up approximately 12-16 oz. of grease from the pan. There was always some rezidual grease from cooking whole bags but I guess they are adding more fat and water in the meatball mixture now.

The original version was just meat balls plain and you could make them as you like now the Italian version is to much even with marinara sauce the taste is terrible this is just another example of self serving problems that Sam club have served up to the consumer make the regular style available not everyone likes te nasty Italian style meat ball

Gluten Free. Bought these for my grandson that has Celiacs disease and they are really good. Great for the whole family. He likes the meat balls with mashed potatoes and Pioneer Gluten free brown gravy. Thank you Sams Club for your gluten free products.

A previous review stated that the meatballs were small and greasy since the new recipe came out as GlutenFree. The response back from the vendor was this was an isolated incident. Well, no it is not an isolated incident they are still small and greasy, they taste good thats why I gave the item 2 stars but other than that, they are not worth the fat.

I made the mistake after eating these of trying to save money and buying the pork ones they carry. Don't! These are leagues ahead in flavor and size. Unless you make your own, these are a great substitute. I've yet to find gristle in any of the many packages I've bought.

I didn't expect this kind of quality from Sam's club products, I found intestine and plastic looking items inside the meatballs, the meat used is not clean at all, they grind every part of the beef and make meatballs?? I guess that is the case, because no one will see and check the inside. Do not buy, just buy the beef and make yourself. Very unethical thing from Sam's club selling this unclean product.

Looking at all the good ratings, I have to wonder if I got a bad batch. We found these meatballs way too spicy. They burn my mouth and throat! I’ll admit we don’t like hot/spicy foods, but this seems way over-the-top for the average family. The texture is nice. They don’t seem at all greasy. It is truly a big disappointment to me that I can never get them again.

Our Family prefer the previous meatballs, they were a great flavor without being to strong for younger kids. This one is just a bit to strong for us. Good flavor just to strong for us all. We will have to find something else the whole family can enjoy.

I really like these meatballs. This is the third time I have bought them and it is the third time I have failed to figure out how the resealable bag works. No matter where I cut the top of the bag I end up with a black plastic edge on just one side. There is no zip lock compression. What am I doing wrong? I always end up just putting a chip lock on the bag and putting back in the freezer.

Got these for my grandchildren and they had a spicy aftertaste. Kids would not eat them.
