We love our meatballs in this house but we were looking for something (equally delicious) that was quick to make for dinner tonight after a long day working/playing in the yard.
John suggested pasta with a meat sauce but I thought the kids would balk at their meatballs not being well, meatballs. The we got the idea to sell them as "smashed meatballs". They were a BIG hit!!
Here's how I made them...
Saute chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil with a little salt, pepper, basil, and celery seeds.
Add a pound of ground beef (preferably local and grass-fed) and brown, stirring every few minutes, for about 15 minutes.
Add one jar of tomato sauce and simmer on low for about a half an hour.
I served it over whole wheat spaghetti with garlic bread.
Lily decided that she likes smashed meatballs even better then the regular "hard" meatballs because they are yummier and easier to eat!
