Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef
½ cup milk
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
6 large potatoes, cut into chunks
6 large carrots, cut into chunks
1 large onion, quartered
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans tomato juice
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix ground beef, milk, egg, cornmeal, onion, chili powder, and dry mustard together in a large bowl; divide and shape into meatballs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Spread 1/2 cup flour into a wide, shallow dish. Roll meatballs in flour to coat.
  • Cook coated meatballs in hot oil until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove meatballs from skillet with a slotted spoon to a casserole dish, reserving fat in the skillet. Arrange potato, carrots, and onion chunks atop the meatballs.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons flour into reserved fat until you have a smooth paste; add tomato juice and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes; pour over the meatballs and vegetables. Place a cover on the casserole dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until potatoes and carrots are completely tender, about 90 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out dry and tough. The sauce was also a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and oregano, and that helped a lot. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it could use a little more flavor.

Easy to make and delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the stew, and it gave it a nice extra flavor.
