Ingredients for Angela S Famous Meatballs

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
  • Swedish Meatball Seasoning
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Water
  • Onions
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Cream Of Mushroom Soup
  • Onion Soup Mix
  • Chicken Bouillon
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Seasoning Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Angela S Famous Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine all meatball ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. Place them in a single layer in a buttered 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Gently stir the meatballs and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through and firm.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the meatballs are cooked, carefully remove them from the oven using a slotted spoon and add them to the simmering sauce.
  7. Gently stir the meatballs in the sauce until they are heated through and well coated.
  8. Serve immediately, or transfer the meatballs and sauce to a slow cooker on low to keep warm for a party.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
