Meatballs!

[Olive]

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

[Netix]

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.

Ohhh yum yum yum, they all sound lovely. I want to go home and start cooking dinner now!

Going to have to experiment with chicken and lamb mince! Are they both readily available at Coles etc? Or a butcher I assume would be stock them?

Chicken mince, finely chopped red chilli, finely shredded shallots, crushed garlic, chopped fresh coriander. Sweet chilli sauce for dunking. If I'm doing them for a more special occasion then I also mix in some finely chopped prawns.

I steam them and they are so incredibly moist and yum. My kids don't eat them (but then my kids don't eat anything so that doesn't count) but everyone else loves them.

yum! i make the pioneer woman's meatballs - mix of beef & pork mince with some garlic, egg, fresh breadcrumbs & parmesan. i love them!

OP - chicken, turkey, pork, lamb, veal mince all available at Coles/Woolies around here.

This is our dinner tonight...

Porcupine meat balls

420g can concentrated tomato soup
3-4 grated mushrooms
1 grated carrot
1 grated zucchini
500g beef mince
1 brown onion, grated
1/2 cup long-grain rice, rinsed
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups of water
mashed potato, to serve

Method
Grate the vegetables and let sit for a while, then squeeze out the moisture in them. (I usually put the juices into the sauce to add flavour!)

Place soup and 1 3/4 cups cold water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil.

Meanwhile, combine mince, vegetables, rice, garlic and parsley in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Using 1 tablespoonful mixture at a time, roll mixture into balls.

Add meatballs to boiling soup. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until rice tender and meatballs cooked through. Serve with mashed potato.
