Michelles Meatballs Recipes

MICHELLE'S ULTIMATE BEEF STROGANOFF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large dish.
• Season ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned beef; cook and stir until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add cream of mushroom soup, cream cheese, and milk; cook and stir until cream cheese melts and mixture is saucy, about 6 minutes.
• Pour mixture over noodles. Add carrots; stir until evenly combined.

THE BEST MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

MICHELLE'S MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except the tomato sauce and the olive oil in a medium-size bowl and mix thoroughly by hand until they are completely combined and the mixture is uniformly firm. Directions: Coat your hands in olive oil, and form balls slightly bigger than a golf ball. Heat the tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, then drop the meatballs into the sauce and add enough water to allow the sauce to reduce and simmer but not so much that the sauce is totally liquid. Cook for about 10 minutes on one side, then turn the meatballs over, add some more water, and cook for another 10 minutes, using a spoon to cover the meatballs with the sauce as they simmer. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with chopped parsley, salt and pepper, more Parmigianino- Reggiano, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, of course!
