Ranch Chicken Meatballs & Creamy Ranch Gravy #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. This recipe is one of my families' favorites. It's quick and easy, you can cook it on the stove top or in a crock pot; make and freeze ahead; and it feeds a crowd, i.e., my family! Even the little ones love it, spinach and all! I like to serve over buttered egg noodles with steamed broccoli on the side.

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 lb ground chicken breast
1 lb ground pork
2 shallots, peeled and diced fine or 1/3 cup shallot
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, packed, chopped fine
1 (1 ounce) package Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Mix
1 cup fresh breadcrumb (do NOT use seasoned dry breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
2 tablespoons butter (melted if using crock pot)
4 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup finely chopped scallion, green tops only, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • MEATBALLS:.
  • Combine all ingredients, except vegetable oil, in large bowl as listed. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are combined. (I use my hands, clean of course!) Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop up mixture and form into balls. When all meatballs are all formed - Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in 12" skillet over medium hi heat. Add as many meatballs to skillet without crowding and fry till all sides are golden brown. (You may need to add more vegetable oil with each batch you fry) Set on rack placed over cookie sheet and continue to fry meatballs until all are done. Place meatballs in oven to finish cooking while you make the sauce.
  • GRAVY:.
  • In large measuring cup or bowl, whisk together Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, milk and sour cream. Set aside.
  • In large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour, mixture will be crumbly and a little dry.
  • Gradually add dressing mixture to pan, whisking constantly. Mixture will begin to thicken almost immediately. Continue to whisk, adding in pepper, salt,nutmeg, scallions and parmesan cheese. Turn heat to lowest setting and cover.
  • Remove meatballs from oven and place on large platter or dish. Spoon gravy over top, sprinkle chopped scallions over top, and serve extra gravy on the side.

These meatballs were a disappointment. They were dry and flavorless.

The gravy was too thick for my liking. I had to add some milk to thin it out.
