Meatballs, those little round gems made from ground meat, eggs, and seasonings, are one of the best foods to have on hand for a quick dinner. You can make your own meatballs, or buy frozen precooked meatballs in many varieties, including Wild Rice Meatballs, Italian Meatballs, and plain. Keep ingredients for these recipes on hand for recipes everyone will love.
1. Meatballs and Fries Casserole
This kid-friendly casserole will be a hit with the whole family. Who doesn't love meatballs and fries, baked in a ketchup and mustard sauce?
2. Completely Crockpot Spaghetti
This is one of the first recipes I developed for Busy Cooks. I love it because it's quick and easy to make, and because you don't need to boil a pot of water to cook the spaghetti to perfection. The pasta will have lots of flavor because it's cooked in the sauce.
3. Pesto Meatballs with Spaghetti
4. Crockpot Wild Rice Meatball Chili
This fabulous recipe has wild rice in the chili and in the meatballs! You can use plain meatballs if you'd like. It's super easy, rich, delicious, and cooks in your crockpot.
5. Potato Meatball Casserole
Just five ingredients make this rich, comforting, and delicious casserole. You can use other varieties of pasta sauce or cheese to change the flavor. Use frozen precooked meatballs in this recipe, or make Easy Meatballs, cook them, then add to the casserole.
6. Alpine Meatballs
This recipe makes meatballs, filled with rice, Swiss cheese, and celery leaves from scratch. You can substitute frozen precooked meatballs to make it a six ingredient recipe: Easy Alpine Meatballs!
7. Italian Wedding Pasta Casserole
Italian Wedding Soup is a classic recipe made with meatballs. I've turned it into a rich and delicious casserole with veggies, Alfredo sauce, spinach, and basil. It's gorgeous too!
8. Creamy Pesto Meatballs
I love pesto in any shape, size, or form. And when combined with meatballs and Alfredo sauce, it creates fabulous flavor. This easy dish cooks to perfection in your crockpot.
