    I don’t know why you’d put raw meatballs in a crockpot. That sounds risky.

    I have no idea what Jasmine rice is. Can I just use regular rice?

    I tried this and it was okay, but the mix felt dry. Maybe add more sauce? 🤔

      I had the same issue! I think adding more sauce would really help with the moisture. Maybe even some cheese on top? 🧀

    Just okay. I think my meatballs were too big. Next time smaller!

      Quick and easy? Looks like it take a lot of time to me. Not sure about this one.

      That sounds delicious! Cheese makes everything better. I’ll definitely try that next time.

    Why do you use so much sauce? It was a bit too saucy for my taste.

      I actually loved the sauce! It really brings out the flavors. But I guess we all have different tastes. 🤷‍♂️

      Too much sauce? Nah! You can’t even taste the beef then! Next time just add less if you want.

    Love it! My kids couldn’t get enough. Will definitely make again!

    Too much work for little bite-sized appetizers. Just cook regular peppers.
