Meatball And Sausage Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine broccoli, potatoes, carrots and onion. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with sausage. Shape beef into 1-in. balls; arrange over top. Pour broth over casserole; sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Bake, uncovered, until meatballs are no longer pink, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the meat in a mixing bowl and add the bread crumbs, cheese, egg, broth, nutmeg, cumin, 1 teaspoon of the garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Blend well and shape the mixture into 24 small meatballs.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick or enamelware skillet and add the meatballs. Cook, turning often, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set aside. Prick the sausages with a fork and add them to the pan. Cook, turning often, until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Scatter the onions, mushrooms, green pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic around the sausages, and sauté, about 5 minutes. Add the meatballs and the accumulated juices back to the pan (the pan will be crowded).
• Add the tomatoes, rosemary, wine and bay leaf and stir to dissolve any browned particles on the bottom of the skillet. Cover closely and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and sprinkle with basil when served.

Steps:

• In a bowl soak the bread in the milk until it soaks up most of milk.
• Once bread has done this, remove from bowl,disgard milk, roughly brake bread apart and place all of the other ingredients in a bowl with the bread and mix together.
• Roll the mixture into small/medium sized balls with your hands.
• Brown meat balls in pan with oil then place into oven for 10 minutes at 225 degrees.
• Add to a great Italian sauce and simmer for 60 minutes.

Steps:

• If meatballs are frozen, thaw in microwave to just warmed.
• Put tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes tomato paste, chopped onion, jalapeno pepper, 1/4 cup water, 8 oz of cheese, and seasonings in a 9 x 13 casserole dish and blend together.
• In the meantime, boil water and make noodles to al dente.

• Add meatballs and gently blend in cheese.
• Sprinkle 4 oz of cheese on top, covering casserole dish.
• Put in oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
• Check for burning of cheese (may cover with aluminum foil gently to prevent some burning or browning of cheese).
• Cooking is to warm through and through and to melt cheese. If your oven cooks hot or altitude is high, adjust time in oven.
• Options:.
• I have also made this in a smaller casserole dish and microwaved for a faster dinner in less than 20 minutes.
• May substitute cheese flavors such as Fiesta blend, Taco blend to give another flavor.
• Measurements are not exact on spices as I eyeball them, cheese is a few handfuls in the dish and 1 handful on top.
• My meatballs are Italian sausage meatballs but can be turkey, ground beef or a mixture of any kind.
• NOTE: prep does not include boiling water.

Steps:

• In 2 quart glass baking dish, mix spaghetti sauce and water until blended. Add uncooked noodles, stir-fry mixture and meatballs and stir to coat. Make sure noodles are completely covered with sauce mixture.
