Meatball Recipes?

[LJFH]

I have a potluck at work on Friday and want to make meatballs. Does anyone have a good recipe for them that they wouldn't mind sharing?

Thanks!

One trick I've heard is to use several different kinds of meat: equal parts beef, veal, and pork is one combination.

Aloha,

Yeah definitely mix up the meat, not just beef. Also, a friend of mine used to stuff each meatball with mozzerella (well she formed the meatballs around the cheese) and it's always a hit.

my mother's swedish meatballs are really easy. the sauce is ketchup and welch's grape jelly.

i'm sure she can type that out.

[Sarahbelle]

yes I agree with Bouche. Everyone loves them and they are quite possibly the easiest thing to make ever!!!

[Ms Zimmy]

My mom would make them with some bread crumbs, onions, and an egg...bake them on a baking sheet, then put them in a casserole dish and bake them in a sweet and sour sauce....ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar. I'm not sure the amounts, but just tasting it you can figure it out.

I could go for some of those right now although I had no idea Heinz and Welch's were Swedish based companies.

Myrna, would you tell me how to make them? proportion wise (how much ketchup to grape jelly ratio) ?

[bouche]

it's probably fairly close to this...

Interesting meat-less meat ball recipe, how did she get them to keep their shape??

[Ms Zimmy]

Oh no, she used meat in hers haha

I make them with lentils. I cook lentils till they are mushy, add bread crumbs, garlic, basil, cayenne and whatever else I feel like (sometimes spinach) and bake them in the oven.

They are pretty tasty.

I was kidding, guess I should've used purple.
