Meat ball sauce?!
Meat ball sauce?
Does anyone know a recipe for meatballs that is NOT a tomato based italian style/ herby sauce?
Answers:
Quickest Swedish Meatballs
1 package frozen meatballs
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (you can mix and match the soups; like cream of celery, cream of chicken, golden mushroom soup, etc)
8 ounces sour cream
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Ground Beef
Place all ingredients in a crock pot.
Cook on low for at least 5 hours.
Serve over egg noodles or the pasta of your choice.
Well, this is kind of tomato based, but it doesn't seem italian. Use ketchup, a can of crushed pineapple and some sugar. I just do it all to taste. We made a big pot of them just recently... so good!
Cocktail Meatballs
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 1/4 cups grape jelly
1 cup chili sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large roasting pan with foil.
Shape ground beef into golf sized balls. Arrange them on the large roasting pan.
Bake the meatballs for 20 to 25 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, combine the jelly, chili sauce and lemon juice in a Dutch oven. When the meatballs finish cooking add them to the Dutch oven.
Cover the oven and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Serve the meatballs hot.
This is not very figure friendly, but it is quite delicious. I suppose that you can make it with low fat stuff, but once and a while it's good to splurge.
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 container of sour cream
1 can of evaporated milk
salt and pepper
Let this simmer in a pan until it gets to the consistecy of a thin gravy. Toss the meatballs in the sauce and let it cook for about 5 more minutes. If I am feeling very ambitious I will sautee up some mushrooms and onions before hand. Serve on crusty bread or with egg noodles.
For the Mushroom cream sauce
300ml/10fl oz chicken or vegetable stock
100ml/3?fl oz dry white wine
1 small shallot, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed to a paste
1 fresh bay leaf
50g/2oz button mushrooms, cleaned and finely sliced

Meatball Stew....brown meatballs and add little water, seasonings, and small amount of roux.........
Swedish Meatballs....
Try the recipe below, or if your lazy, buy the McCormick package.
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced onions
2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 cup water
3/4 pound lean ground beef
3/4 pound lean ground pork
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
In a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the onions and saute, stirring often until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the bread crumbs and water. Let stand until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved onions along with the beef, pork, egg yolks, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Beat on low speed until smooth. Turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the mixture is light in color and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Using 2 spoons dipped in cold water, shape the meat into 1-inch balls.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Cook the meatballs in batches of about 15 to 20 at a time and brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels before removing to a warmed serving platter. Cover to keep warm. When all the meatballs are cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the flour to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Slowly add the beef stock. Cook, whisking, until the gravy is thick and smooth. Strain, if desired. Pour the gravy over the meatballs and serve hot.
This is REALLY good and VERY easy:
1 jar of grape jelly (like 16oz)
2 jars of cocktail sauce (usually small jars like 6 or 8oz)
Put in a pot together and heat until all melted together. Pour over your meatballs. YUMMY
This is a very simple recipe. Make your meat balls, cook in a large skillet with alittle water and a lid on until the meatballs are cook through. Drain the meatballs and put back in the skillet. Add a jar or can of brown gravy and heat through. Its very good as a side or with egg noodles.
