Risotto Meatballs

I have a few recipes for meatballs, but try this one. In a word “Fabulous”. Try these once and you will make them many, many times.

  • 3/4 cup uncooked risotto
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. celery salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 2 tbsp. Crisco oil
  • 1 (680 ml) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce

In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add the ground beef and form into 1 1/2 inch balls.

In a large skillet, brown the meatballs in oil and drain.

Combine the tomato sauce, water, brown sugar and Worchestershire sauce and pour over the meatballs. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour.

Serve with a cold salad of your choice and a warm dinner roll.

 

Hint: We ate the first dinner and then remembered to take pictures. On the 2nd night, we had an unexpected visitor and …..you guessed it. We ate it all up and forgot about the pictures  until it was waaaaay too late.  I need to set an alarm so we take the picture THEN eat.
