SWEDISH MEATBALL HOT DISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes, then add the ground beef and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the allspice, nutmeg and white pepper. Sprinkle the flour on top and stir until incorporated. Stir in the heavy cream and beef broth and bring to a simmer. Add the peas and carrots and parsley.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese evenly on top. Top with the potato tots and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top.
• Bake until the potato tots are golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix the first 7 ingredients together well and shape into balls. Put meat balls in a 2 qt baking dish or 9 x 13 pan. Blend the remaining ingredients and pour over meat balls. Bake for 1 1/2 hrs at 325. I like to cover with foil and then uncover for the last half hour.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
• Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
• Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
• After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
• **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
