    I just do mine mince, salt, pepper, egg and breadcrumb. Brown on all sides, then simmer in a tomato sauce. No complaints, just compliments.

    Yum yum yum, thanks ladies!!!

    I want the cheesy ones right now... drool...

    Netix, what sort of tomato sauce? Just like a bolognaise with no meat? Could I use a Dolmio type thing?

    I do the Swedish ones - ala taste.com via Olive! I add extra stock to the sauce at the end and add a lot more thickened cream as well! DEeeeeeelish! We serve with rice. I also grate in zucchini and carrot into the actual meatballs! Mmm!

    Chicken meatballs - chick mince, egg and some coriander. Yummo! Serve with sweet chilli sauce or not. Kids love them. I have oven baked or pan fried.

    Mmmmm we love the Swedish ones! Mushrooms in the sauce is ace too.
    OP the feta dipping sauce is Devine! We had that sat night and used the left over sauce last night with chicken strips

    OP, no meat, but browned chopped onions and garlic, finely chopped carrot, maybe chopped mushrooms, and whatever other vegies you love. Tomato sauce like a jar of Dolmio/raguletto/etc, plus a tin of crushed tomatoes, or (and definitely my preference) a bottle of chunky tomato sauce (since I don't make my own, I find the safeway homebrand in the tall bottles the best, it's not just puree.). Carefully stir in the browned meatballs, cover and simmer gently (stirring occasionally) until the meatballs and vegies are cooked. Serve with pasta/spaghetti. Very easy, and just add herbs if you choose, and a little beef stock powder before it all simmers.

    Olive can you please cut and paste the recipe on here.
    I just can't get meatballs right. I've tried so many recipes and they never measure up to the meatballs my neighbour used to give me many years ago.
