Chicken Chasseur Meatballs

May 25, 2020

I’ve been on a huge meatball kick lately, as is evident by these Meatloaf Meatballs and these Pizza Meatballs, but now I’m bringing a bit more sophistication to my meatball game. These Chicken Chasseur (Hunter’s Chicken) Meatballs take a classic French dish and turns it into your new favorite recipe to make when you want to impress. I first made Chicken Chasseur back in high school when I participated in a culinary competition for C-CAP, which is a great organization that teaches young kids all about the culinary arts and prepares them for working in the industry. We compete for scholarships and one of the recipes I had to learn was chicken chasseur. It’s engrained in my brain and I still make it all the time. I thought it was appropriate to give it the meatball treatment because it sounded so great, and guess what? It is!

Meatloaf Meatballs

May 19, 2020

I feel like sometimes meatloaf gets such a bad rap as being an over-cooked slab of ground beef with not much flavor at all. Speaking of, I feel like ground beef gets a bad rap in general, but honestly, I love ground beef even more than a fancy steak, but that’s a story for another time. Back to the meatloaf haters. I think the problem is that those naysayers have probably not tried a great meatloaf yet. That’s all about to change because these Meatloaf Meatballs are a fun take on such a classic dish, and one that I grew up eating often. But this isn’t anything like the meatloaf I had growing up (sorry mom). In writing those I had a vision of putting these meatloaf meatballs in some garlic bread rolls and turning the whole thing into garlic bread meatloaf meatball subs. WOW.

Supreme Pizza Meatballs

May 1, 2020

My meatball streak continues with yet another delicious meatball recipe to share on here. These Supreme Pizza Meatballs are the answer to our pizza nights at home during this quarantine…without the hassle of making homemade dough. Who has the time? But better yet, who has the yeast?! This is pizza with a fun twist that I’m sure everyone will love. I never order (or make) supreme pizzas typically because the veggies are always placed raw on top of the pie and then they produce too much moisture and you end up with soggy pizza with even soggier vegetables. This recipe however, solves that problem by sautéing the vegetables first until golden brown and then adding the sauce. It might seem like an extra step, but it’s well worth it. If you serve this with crusty toasted bread slices, it’ll be just like you’re having pizza, but you’re not. You’re having pizza meatballs and I think it’s the next best thing.

Meatball Beef and Broccoli

April 28, 2020

Meatball recipes and this blog go hand in hand. If you’ve been following along for a while now, you’ll probably know by now that I have the biggest soft spot for meatballs. Anywhere from chicken tikka masala, to enchiladas, to caprese, to banh mi, to stroganoff and everything in between. There is a meatball recipe on this blog for literally all of your tastes, for any day of the week. This time around, I was inspired by my Orange Chicken Meatballs to create another Asian-American infusion with this Meatball Beef and Broccoli. It has all of the flavors from the classic dish, but with a fun new meatball twist. Serve it with steamed rice for that perfect easy weeknight meal. Have I mentioned that it’s incredibly easy to make? That’s just an added bonus.

Orange Chicken Meatballs

January 14, 2020

I’ll never say no to a meatball recipe, and I’ve definitely never come across one that I did not absolutely love. Over the years I’ve shared quite a few on this blog that have gone over well. These Tikka Masala Meatballs are still a fan favorite through and through, and I still dream about Enchilada Meatballs constantly. If you’re a fan of stroganoff, these Stroganoff Meatballs are the way to go! I know that some of us might be watching what we’re eating in this new year and so I wanted to offer up these Orange Chicken Meatballs to you. They’re healthier than the classic dish, without all the frying, but still pack all of the flavor we know and love. Serve with brown rice and sautéed snow peas for a quick and easy weeknight meal that you don’t have to feel guilty about!

Skillet Enchilada Meatballs

October 23, 2018

A while back I made these Chicken Tikka Masala Meatballs and y’all went crazy for them. I don’t blame you though because they’re delicious chicken meatballs cooked in a homemade flavorful tikka masala sauce, what’s not to like?! And because they were such a hit, I decided to give you another meatball skillet recipe to obsess over. I’m obsessing over it, and so I’ll just feel better if I weren’t the only one. These Skillet Enchilada Meatballs are cooked in a thickened enchilada sauce with sliced tortillas and lots of cheese. They’re a much easier way to make and eat enchiladas, but better yet, meatballs are involved and I’m always down for a dish with meatballs in it. Top it with your favorite taco fixings for that ultimate Tex-Mex dish that is perfect for weeknight meals, weekend family gatherings or even potlucks!
