OT. Meatballs

[The Evil Empire 88]

For New Year's Eve I am making 3 kinds of Meatballs
Swedish

Italian

I have have never made Swedish Meatballs or made the Sauce for the sweet and Sour Meatballs. Any advice at all would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you are just looking to make a variety of meatballs, a suggestion is a can of cranberry sauce mixed with a bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce (like ketchup only sweeter). Makes a great tangy meatball. Bake the meatballs about 1/2 done, drain the fat, and toss in the sauce and finish cooking. Super easy.

Thanks. Gonna try that

Use some milk to mix with bread crumbs instead of water. Helps keep it really moist

my friend's wife made Buffalo Meat Balls for us once. It was awesome.

I serve Swedish meatballs every Christmas Eve. We used to go with an old family Daish recipe, they were good but way too much work amongst everything else that required attention. So for the past 7 or 8 years it has been IKEA meatballs. Easy and good as long as you have lingonberry sauce/jam. Enjoy.

I thought this was a thread about Tripper, Rudy, Spaz, Larry, Crockett, Hardware, etc.

Use meatloaf mix for the meat, and use sliced white bread (but not Wonder bread) instead of bread crumbs.

Use gloves or bare hands ? I hear you need the feel to roll them. No joke

Every Swedish meatball recipe I've seen has too many obscure ingredients so I've shyed away from making them. Italian meatballs: ground beef, bread crumbs, one egg, garlic, onion, parsley, and grated cheese. Simple.

Yep, Tempo makes a great sloppy joe mix also - definitely recommend their products.

Damn. I was hoping for some Bill Murray in this thread.

I thought this was going to be a Bill Murray thread.

yes I use this and for meatloaf too, listen I know its not from scratch but sometimes you dont have the time to buy and make sure you have all the homemade ingredients so this stuff works pretty good
