Applesauce Meatballs image

This was my mother's standard dinner recipe for guests. These meatballs are juicy and packed with flavor! They go great with scalloped potatoes as a side dish.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup applesauce
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
½ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
1 pound ground beef
flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 onions, thinly sliced
3 cups tomato juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine applesauce, egg, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper, with ground beef; mix until well blended. (This is best done by hand.) Form mixture into medium-sized meatballs, and roll in flour.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high or high heat. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but not cooked through. Transfer to a baking dish and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, partially cook the carrots and onions over medium high heat. Add tomato juice, season to taste with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, then pour over meatballs.
  • Cook, covered, in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until carrots are tender and meatballs are cooked through. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes before removing from the oven.

I'm not a big fan of applesauce, but I actually really enjoyed these meatballs. The applesauce added a nice sweetness and moisture.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to give the meatballs more flavor.

The meatballs were a little dry for my taste, but the applesauce helped to balance it out.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover applesauce. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional meatballs.

I made these meatballs in my slow cooker and they turned out perfectly. They were so easy to make and I didn't have to heat up my kitchen.

I added some chopped pecans to the meatballs for a little extra crunch. They were a big hit!

These meatballs were delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very moist and flavorful.
