Meatball Dinner
Meatball Dinner
This is a basic dinner to put together, easy for a weekday meal for a family or quickly prepared by senior citizens. I based this guide on Kroger brand meatballs, which I think are excellent in taste and value. Stated here will be a good meal for 3 people with leftovers that you can add to to make another meal. The meatballs are based on 4 oz per serving, or four 1 oz meatballs per serving. Use a store brand, or homemade, for the items and that is a money saver as well. The nice thing about this meal is that all the items are prepared at the same time. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 225 grams dry egg noodles, (8 oz)
- 2 packets beef gravy mix, Shortcut
- 12 frozen meatballs, 1 oz each, Shortcut
- vegetable of choice, frozen or canned, for a side dish
Instructions
- Heat a pot of salted water to a boil, add the egg noodles and cook until tender, drain.
- While the noodles are cooking, go ahead and prepare the gravy as listed on the package, and heat up the canned or frozen vegetables, I used the stove top for this or you can use your microwave, up to you. Count out the meatballs, add some extras, and heat those per the package instructions as well.
- Serve, ladle gravy over the meatballs and egg noodles, and enjoy.
