Meatballs - Side Dish??

Sweet and sour meatballs, Just take Kraft sweet and sour sauce and put over meatballs and serve with rice.

You could make the meatballs in a gravy instead of tomato sauce, and serve them with butter and garlic mashed potatoes and a green veggie. That's definitely something that I would do!

Ok, here is my meatball recipe. Meatball Sandwich Yields: 4 servings INGREDIENTS: 1 pound ground beef 3/4 cup bread crumbs 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 egg, beaten 1 French baguette 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 pinch salt, or to taste 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce 4 slices provolone cheese DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish. 3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, cut the baguette in half lengthwise, and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a well for the meatballs. Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder and salt. Slip the baguette into the oven during the last 5 minutes of the meatball's time, or until lightly toasted. 4. While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce. Spoon onto the baguette and top with slices of provolone cheese. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Cool slightly, cut into servings, and enjoy! Here are my suggestions: Have meatball hoagie night and serve with chips. Or meatballs with potato salad or a nice macaroni salad. (Don't forget the baked beans) If serving in a brown gravy, how about plain buttered egg noodles that way you can ladle the gravy over the noodles. Yum!!! I hope my suggestions help!

for a change & a healthy cooking style : Steam your meatballs with slices of soft tofu , bell pepper , chopped onions and garlic , soy sauce & few drops of sesame oil . serve it with a bowl of rice and a side dish of garlic mixed vegetable like steaming also brocolli , carrots , corn kernel , snap peas & cauliflower then add little butter , salt & garlic powder before serving .

When I make meatballs, I make them as the recipe calls for and bake them. Then I put a large can of tomato sauce on and into that I put loads of italian type spices. I put the meatballs in. I simmer for a while. The I buy sub rolls and mozzerrlla cheese slices. I make meatball subs! I cut a 'boat' out of the top of the bun, insert 5-6 meatballs with some sauce. Tear the cheese into strips and it melts due to the heat of the meatballs. I serve with eitehr french fries or chips...depending on how tired I am! I make the meatballs and freeze them...have this meal when I am tired in the evenings! Meatballs are also good over rice with the sauce I describe above.

well my two favorite side dishes with meat balls aren't that original but I'll share anyway. First I like rice, you can make so many varieties. Plain steemed with butter and salt,steamed then fried with green onion and soy sauce, I also like to add beef boulion and mushrooms to the water before steaming rice. My other favorite side dish is stir fry. Saute any type of veggies you like then add a jar of pinapple sauce and continue to heat. MMMMM Now I'm off to make supper...suddenly I think I'm hungry..LOL

Well, I know many times you can do meatballs like in stroganoff, or in any italian dish like lasagna, etc. Or serve with gravy over like mashed potatoes. Or serve with items like you would with meatloaf. These are just some of the ways I have had them.

I love this recipe, very tasty Sweet & Sour Meatballs ingredients for meatballs: 1 lb hamburg 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/3 cup onions 1/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce combine all ingredients and form approximately 50 meatballs bake on cookie sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven for ten minutes. sauce ingredients 1 bottle (12 oz) chili sauce 1 jar (10 oz) grape jelly Heat jelly and chili sauce together in a saucepan, until the jelly is completely dissolved. Add the meatballs and cook for 1/2 hour

If you're tired of spaghetti, try serving the meatballs with a side of ravioli, stuffed shells, manicotti or penne. Another option is to serve the meatballs on a toatsed roll and top it with provolone chese-- then you have a meatball sandwich which goes great with french fries! Yum-- this is making me hungry!

I think any vegetable would be a nice side dish. I am preferential to pairing asparagus with beef. To make the asparagus, just steam or quickly boil some cleaned stems. I would also recommend wide egg noodles as a side dish.

Meatballs go great with mashed potatoes and gravy; add a tossed salad, and you have a very nice meal. You can also serve them with rice and gravy-or skip the gravy and opt for a flavored rice-asian or alfredo flavor-or even rice and broccoli. If that doesn't appeal to you, slice them and put them on a sandwich with some barbecue or sour cream and onion potato chips and cheese. You can melt the cheese if you like-but do that before you put the chips on or they'll be soggy. Add a big tall glass of grape kool-aid or orange soda and you have a "feast". LOL Enjoy and many blessings to you.

You can use spaghetti as first dish and meat balls with salad.

How about a casserole? Make 1" meatballs and roll in flour, then brown in frypan in a bit of oil. Place pumpkin cubes in greased casserole. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and grated onion, salt & pepper to taste. Top with meatballs. Cut up tomatoes and pour over all. Cover and bake at 350ºF until pumpkin is tender (about 1.5 hours). Stir partway through. To make six servings use 1.5 pounds lean ground beef, 2 pounds fresh pumpkin, 1.5 cups grated cheddar, 1 large can tomatoes.
