I've been meaning to cook some meatballs in the crock pot for a while now and I want to do something different.


Anyone have a meatball/sauce recipe they'd like to share?

We've been on a crock pot kick around our place, and I've got a ton of meatball recipes that I've either tried or are in the hopper. Some of them have tomato paste and/or diced tomato, but they're not the usual Italian style, so I'll include them. Most of the time I've already got the meatballs made, so I'm just looking for the sauce, but these do have instructions on meatballs too. Some of the recipes are for crock pot, some not, but all could be converted pretty easily. Let us know how any of them turn out.

Are you in New Orleans?

I know Cleaver & Co sell homemade meatballs. I believe they sell several different styles of sauce with it.

The hush supper club chef does meatballs regularly. He does one with pork and a brown curry sauce. It's out of sight.

They sauce combinations and type of meat you can use are endless.

I made Meatball "stew" last week that was great.

1lb beef
1lb pork
1lb Cajun sausage (raw)
2 eggs
Breadcrumbs
Seasoning
Make 1.5-2oz meatballs. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes.

1.5qt water
4 rounded tsp roux (jarred roux - Don't shoot me)
Bring water to boil and add roux one teaspoon at a time, whisking until dissolved. Simmer for 1hr, uncovered. Add 1 cup water if necessary. Add 1 packet onion soup mix and 2 onions & 1 bell pepper (chopped). Add meatballs. Simmer 30-45 minutes, uncovered. Add chopped parsley and green onions 5 minutes before serving. Serve on cooked white rice.

That was the base recipe. I have homemade onion soup mix that I like to use, and since that doesn't have beef bouillon in it, I added 2 tsp of better than bouillon beef and a little dash of kitchen bouquet. I also used a lb of deer and a lb of pork from the farmers market in lieu of the meat listed above

That sounds pretty good.

I just remember one I had at A Mano on their final weekened. I think it was a goat meatball in a pesto type sauce. I can't remember it exactly.

ETA: here it is

Thanks for the recs. Will try them out sometime. Went with beef meatballs in a parmesan cream sauce. They're currently in the crockpot now. I'll let everyone know how they come out.

Yeah. I'll have to check them out. Was thinking of going with a pork/beef mixture. Will probably try that next time.

The bomb of meatballs is beef, pork, and lamb in approximately equal measures. Roast the balls before putting them in a sauce, and Swedish style is the best option to go to.

I've made these before and they're very good.

HOT MEATBALLS

1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
3 tbsp. dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. Frank's red hot sauce
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. corn starch
1/2 c. water
2 tbsp. catsup
1 1/2 tbsp. Frank's red hot sauce (or more to taste)

Combine first 5 ingredients. Mix thoroughly and shape into 3/4 inch meatballs. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
In saucepan, melt butter and add corn starch; stir to blend. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer until thickened. Add meatballs and heat through. Yield: 50 to 60 meatballs.

That seems like a natural for ground chicken.

No, I don't want to over hype the place. Food was really good. Had a shrimp and crab pizza, spaghetti & meatballs, and shrimp fettuccine alfredo. I'm not much of a pasta eater but damn that fettuccine was good. Best I've had. Pizza dough was awesome, he could put anything on it and id eat it.

That's awesome. I'll definitely run by this week. Great to have another good lunch option in the hood.
