I have a really easy, fast, kid friendly dinner. I found it years ago on Baby Center and it is a family favorite. AND, if you happen to try it, leave a comment and let me know how it goes over in your house.
Frozen Meatballs and Sour Cream Sauce
Frozen Meatballs and Sour Cream Sauce
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
6-8 frozen meatballs per person
pasta of your choice
Sour Cream Sauce
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1c. beef broth
1/2 tsp. salt dash of cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
8oz dairy sour cream, room temp.
Heat
Dutch oven or large skillet to medium heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil.
When the pan is hot, add a Tbsp of water and frozen meatballs to the
Dutch oven and put a lid on to steam the meatballs. Once they are heated
through, remove the meatballs and add butter to the brownings in the
pan. Stir in the flour and cook until bubbly. Add broth, salt, cayenne
pepper and Worcestershire sauce; cook, stirring until thickened and
bubbly. Gradually add sour cream, one heaping spoonful at a time to the
sauce, stirring constantly. add meatballs and let simmer.
Serve over noodles/pasta
****My Variation****
I skipped the browning of the meatballs and just warmed them in the microwave. Both ways taste good but I just did the SUPER easy version!
Also, I OBVIOUSLY double the recipe. I've got three growing boys :)
OK, I did take step by step pictures while I was cooking. LOL! Hats off to the foodie bloggers who do this all the time. It was much harder than I thought it would be. Since, I put the effort in, I'll share, but I can pretty much guarantee that I will only be sharing final products from now on:)
The cast of characters...of course, I forgot the sour cream in the first picture...DUH, meatballs and SOUR CREAM sauce...yeah, well....
add the flour...
add meatballs and simmer!
