It is sooo cold outside so it's time for cozy comfort food! I enjoy making a good meal on a low budget. Of course, a good meal consists of meat and potatoes, and of course a veggie, at my house! So tonight I decided to make the good ole' *Raised Meatballs*... They are tasty and fit right into my budget with mashed potatoes and corn. This costs approximately $7.00 for the whole meal.
*Prepare to get your hands dirty!* :-)
First take 1 lb of thawed hamburger and break it up in a large mixing bowl... Tear apart 3 slices of bread into small pieces and add to hamburger. Then add 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon pepper. You can also add minced onions if you would like.
Mix all of this well together and form into balls. I like to use a 1/2 cup ice cream scoop so that I have meatballs that are all the same size. I like to know that all of them will cook evenly! Place your meatballs in a greased 9x13 casserole dish.
In a small mixing bowl, mix together 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup milk. Mix well and pour over the meatballs.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Remove the meatballs and place in a serving bowl and take the sauce and use it as your gravy for your mashed potatoes.
This should make approximately 6-8 meatballs and should serve 4 people.
Enjoy!
Happy Cooking

Thanks Teauna, I'm gonna try it TONIGHT!!! Already have the hamburger out!
ReplyDeleteI made these for dinner tonight and they were great!! My 20 month old even ate his dinner good,which doesn't happen often. I think I'll double the gravy recipe next time so I have more leftover. My husband is going to love his lunch for work tomorrow!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed them! My husband works away from home and I send these often for him. When I make them at home, I just make a double batch then I freeze meals in aluminum containers, then he can take them and heat them up when he's working. These freeze really well :-)
