FAQs
Can I Use Diet Coke for This Recipe?
While you can use Diet Coke, it may affect the overall flavor and sweetness of the sauce. Regular Coca-Cola provides a richer, caramelized sweetness that enhances the dish. If you prefer to use a sugar-free soda, you may want to add a little extra brown sugar to balance the taste.
Can I Make This Dish Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can make the meatballs and sauce ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the meatballs and sauce together in a skillet or oven until warmed through. The sauce can also be made a day in advance.
How Spicy Are These Meatballs?
The red pepper flakes in the sauce add a mild heat. If you prefer a spicier dish, feel free to increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce. If you want a milder version, simply omit the red pepper flakes altogether.
Final Thoughts
