What can I do with meatballs?

[Indigobird111]

What can I do with meatballs, other than serve with mash and gravy, or in a tomato sauce with spaghetti? Bought a big pack now looking for other ideas. They are pork and beef meatballs. Thanks

I do a one pan with gnocci. Fry onions peppers and the meatballs. Add sauce or whatever you prefer for saucy base (I like the tinned cherry tomatos) and then chuck in the gnocci

I know not a huge difference from pasta and sauce

We had them in curry when I thought I had chicken but had none! Meatballs were the only option available but they were really nice.

Squash them flat and make mini burgers. My children like this.

break them up and make anything you’d normally make with mince, lasagna, chilli, bolognaise etc

Ikea style creamy sauce?

Have a look at recipes with Middle Eastern spices e.g. cumin, cinnamon, turmeric etc and serve them with rice or couscous, and a big dollop of minted yoghurt on the side.

Meatball subs would be my preference. In a tomato's sauce, I'd choose something with a bit of chilli, then a decent mature cheddar or a spicy one like mexicana, good soft sub roll and lean over a plate when eating to catch the dollops of sauce that fall out.

Seconded. I like them in a tomato based curry sauce with lots of chilli, but probably a lot of veggies would work.

Put a nice sauce over them - sun dried tomato pesto goes well, then serve with salad topped with grated cheese.

Kofta curry.

I've used them in a stir fry when it was the only meat in the house. Surprisingly nice🤣

Slice in half and use as a pizza topping?

we put them in a pasta bake

Slide them onto several knitting needles and make an edible abacus.

It involves mash, so breaking the rules, but it's really tasty. Cook meatballs with peppercorn sauce, homemade mash and jelly - ideally lingonberry - on the side.

Or you could do meatball subs with salad.

Tagine using Middle Eastern spices and served with cous cous (I've done with lamb meatballs but I'm sure it would be fine)

Meatball kebabs aka edible abacus also a good shout. 😂

Chinese style - sounds weird but pour over half sweet chilli sauce half plum sauce

I use the sweet chilli in my stir fry but am now going to try with the plum. Thanks for the tip😁

Thanks, some inspired ideas

goulash or goulash soup

Came on here to say this. We do with beef, turkey or beef and pork meatballs.
