Meatballs, Green Beans, and Potatoes

Grandma’s Recipe

Grandma’s recipes always seem to have a special place in our hearts, don’t they? They’re not just about the food; they’re about the memories, the stories, and the love that goes into every dish. One such recipe that holds a special place in my heart is my Grandma’s Meatballs, Green Beans, and Potatoes. It’s a comforting and hearty meal that’s perfect for the whole family.

A Solid Meatball Recipe

The star of this dish is, of course, the meatballs. This meatball recipe is made with a combination of beef, sausage, Italian seasoning, and eggs. These meatballs are flavorful and tender. But what really sets them apart is the addition of milk-soaked bread crumbs, which adds moisture and helps bind the meatballs together. This simple yet effective trick makes all the difference in the texture and taste of the meatballs.

Everything Bakes Together

What makes this recipe truly special is how everything bakes together at the same time. The seasoned green beans and potatoes bake alongside the meatballs, at the same time and temperature. It’s a convenient and efficient way to cook a complete meal without having to juggle multiple pots and pans. And let’s not forget the final touch – serving the meal with a side of ketchup for dipping. It’s the perfect finishing touch that adds a hint of sweetness and tanginess to the dish.
