Believe it or not, I've never made 'em! I tried searching some recipe sites, but it's too hard to find a recipe that's Kosher. So if I can get a couple kinds, it would be great! I'll try basic, sweet & sour, or spicy. Preferably simple ingredients.

Thank you all!

Try this:
2 lb's of ground meat
1/2 cup of rice
1/2 head of garlic !
pepper, salt, sweet or spicy paprica powder (an egg if you want)
mix and cook in goulash-sauce for 1 hour.
comes out delicious

mix/bring to boil in pot equal amounts of: cranberry sauce (jelly type preferable) and tomato sauce.

mix your ground meat with garlic powder, 1 egg/per pound of meat (can add extra if you want), matza meal, salt and little bit of pepper.

Roll balls and drop into sauce.
let boil on low flame for about an hour plus.

IT's deeeeelish, and freezes great. (freeze with sauce). have over spagetti or rice.

Queen, are they really good frozen with the sauce? Mine have had such an off taste over the years, the Tupperware lady suggested freezing them separately.

I've never found the taste lacking- assuming the meat was spiced well. Did you freeze them wrapped properly??? (double wrapped in ziplocks)

I used to Tuppperware them, sauce and all, then heat in a pot on the stove. The taste was so off we had to throw them out last time.

But it's fine when frozen separately.....

This is my favorite simple meatball recipe.

Meatballs

Sauce
onion
fresh garlic
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
2 15 oz. cans tomato sauce
1-2 cans water (depends on how thick you prefer the sauce)
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons parsley
½ teaspoon oregano
brown sugar to taste
salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Meat
Ground beef ( I prefer lean, sauce is good for up to approx. 4 lbs. of beef)
1 egg per lb. of meat
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs per lb. of meat (I prefer the seasoned variety)
mustard, ketchup, and garlic powder to taste

Chop Onion, sautee in a small amount of oil in a large pot. Mince the garlic and sautee with onion after the onion has softened a bit. Drain whatever oil you can from onion and garlic when done(makes for a less greasy sauce). Combine remainder of ingredients for sauce in pot and allow to boil. Combine meat ingredients, and form into balls. Drop balls into sauce and allow sauce to reboil, lower flame and simmer for 1 hour.

Freezes well, I have only frozen it in the sauce.

do you precook the rice?
I once ate over at someone who made this using ground turkey without precooking the rice. I tried it and it came out hard!! Confused

Do you have the Spice & Spirit? They have a yummy recipe using cranberry sauce!

I freeze it and it seems just as yummy!

I process one squash, a few cloves of garlic and parsley then add it to the ground meat along with some paprika and pepper.

The squash makes the meat balls very soft. You can then make a sauce to cook it in.

No, I don't precook the rice. If you cook the meat-balls enough, that is for the 1 hour plus, like in the other recepie, that should be enough for the rice to absorb the liquid and be cooked that way.
(I don't have Sice & Spirit if that note was for me.)

Thank you so much everyone. After I go shopping, I'll IY"H make one or more recipes, and I'll try to post how they came out!

Queen, I tried your recipe and it came out great- very very easy, perfect for inept cooks like me Smile

. It does freeze very well, enjoying some leftovers as we speak.
