Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 eggs
Red pepper flakes, as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 can beef consomme
1 can beef broth
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Place the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, eggs, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Form the mixture into uniform-size balls.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a large pan. When hot, begin frying the meatballs in batches, setting them aside on a plate or baking sheet when brown. You may need to drain any excess fat from the pan during the frying process. Continue frying until all the meatballs are browned. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: Add the beef consomme and three-quarters of the can of beef broth to the meatball pan, reserving the remaining broth in a small bowl. Add the mustard and tomato paste to the pan, then stir and bring to the boil.
  • Add the cornstarch to the reserved beef broth and whisk so there are no lumps. As the sauce starts to boil, add the cornstarch mixture. When the sauce has thickened after a few minutes, return the meatballs to the pot and stir to make sure they are all coated in sauce. Continue to simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, about 45 minutes.

GRANDMA'S APPLESAUCE MEATBALLS



Grandma's Applesauce Meatballs image

This is one of my family's favorite 'comfort' foods - by all six generations. Don't let the applesauce scare you off; you can't taste it, but it keeps the meatballs tender and moist. Add mushrooms and/or pearl onions for an even heartier 'comfort' meal! Serve over hot buttered noodles or rice. We like a salad and garlic bread, or a plate of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. Enjoy!

Provided by Pipster

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatball Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg
½ cup milk
1 ½ cups herb seasoned croutons
⅔ cup applesauce
3 tablespoons chopped onion
3 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
½ cup evaporated milk
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk the egg and milk together in a large bowl, and stir in the croutons. Allow the croutons to soak up the milk mixture for about 2 minutes. Lightly stir in the applesauce, onion, garlic, Cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper, and mix in ground beef with your hands until thoroughly combined. Form the meat mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, and place into the prepared baking dish. In the same bowl, whisk together the cream of celery soup with evaporated milk. Pour the sauce over the meatballs.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and thickened and the meat is no longer pink in the middle, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese 15 minutes before end of baking, and bake until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of meatball. For this recipe, Italian-style meatballs are a classic choice, but you could also use ground beef, pork, or turkey meatballs. If you're using frozen meatballs, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful. The sauce is what makes these meatballs so delicious, so take the time to make it right. Use a good quality tomato sauce and add your own herbs and spices to taste. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled sausage to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly. Meatballs should be cooked until they are browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside. The best way to check if they're done is to cut one in half and make sure there's no pink in the center.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. These meatballs are great served with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice. You could also serve them on a bun with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

These autumn potluck meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a flavorful sauce and tender meatballs, they're sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a recipe to bring to a potluck, give these meatballs a try.
