Dinner challenge: WWYD with meatballs?

[Cindyg]

I'm in a condo at the beach. I have frozen meatballs that I want to use up. I can get to a deli and a grocery store. I have a kitchen facilities, etc. I don't want any left overs. We've already had spaghetti and meatballs and we've already had meatball sandwiches. What should we have next?

[RanchGirl]

Sweet and sour meatballs are yummy and a nice change of pace from spaghetti:

We like meatballs in the slow cooker with pineapple & sweet & sour dressing over them. Serve with noodles or rice or on sandwiches.

 

ETA: Not like Sweet N Sour Sauce, but this: Marzetti Sweet N Sour Dressing

There is a good recipe for Polynesian meatballs on the Kraft website. This is SOOOOOO yummy!

Ok, that's funny. 3 of us with basically the SAME suggestion:).

Alfredo sauce....is that different enough.

If you are not a purist you could eat them as a side appetizer with a salad.

Maybe add a few things and make an antipesto plate.

I have put meatballs on pizza before...just cut them in half and add veggies and cheese.

We make a BarBQ sauce out of ketchup, mustard, onion powder and brown sugar and cook them with it in the crock pot. (Add some water if you're leaving them long.

I would make sweet and sour meatballs over mashed potatoes. :drool5:

[Belacqua]

Maybe some kind of stroganoff? I'd put it over noodles, but if you're tired of pasta you could use baked potatoes or rice.

Meatball subs.

Thank you. As always, you guys are brilliant. Beach condo dinner saved. :)

OK, I'm 5 minutes too late... but I love going Asian with meatballs. After defrosting them, fry them up with onions and teriyaki sauce (and other veggies if you want--snow peas, julienned carrots etc), and serve over rice.

 

mmmm....

Sloppy Joe's if you smash them up ;) I like the idea of stroganoff (with egg noodles)!

Albondigas Soup! Yummy-

(Mexican meatball soup)

[Cindyg]

OK, here's what we went with: the frozen meatballs, a bottle of sweet and sour sauce, a frozen package of rice and Asian veggies, and a can of diced water chestnuts. Brilliant! (Can't say how it tasted yet because we're eating it for lunch tomorrow.)
