Hello, dear hostesses and hosts, I am glad to see you in my blog! 🌞
And today I'm cooking meatballs. They are rightfully one of the most beloved minced meat dishes. Both adults and children love them! Looking to treat your family to these delicious meat balls in gravy?
Then you will definitely need my selection, in which as many as eight different, but very tasty recipes.
Here you will find both simple and easy, and more exotic options.
Choose your family recipe and with step-by-step photos you will succeed!
Let's start with the classic recipe, which is often present on the menu of kindergartens, and simply in home cooking.
Ingredients:
The difference between meatballs with rice from the same ones is that they require pre-frying to maintain their shape and density. And hedgehogs don't need that, they should look fluffy with well-visible rice, sort of disheveled, and in my opinion, they are much easier to prepare. But meatballs are a little tastier.
So, to cook them, finely chop the onion. I take half of a medium onion to add to the minced meat, and leave the other half for the sauce. My husband is not a big fan of onions, so I put on a minimum. If you like onions, you can take more.
I have minced pork + beef. I mix it with chopped onion, rice and egg. Don't forget to salt and pepper.
As for rice. Some prefer to pre-boil the rice for 10 minutes until half cooked. But I don't do it, because rice will be cooked in those half an hour, while the dish will be stewed.
Therefore, you can safely add unboiled, the only thing this leads to is that the meatballs will turn out a little drier inside. For example, this does not bother me, because it will still be unrealistically tasty.
But, decide for yourself how it is more convenient for you, and do it, just look so that the rice does not boil at all and remains dense.
We mix everything into a homogeneous mass. You should get a beautiful, fragrant stuffing.
We begin to form meatballs.
We collect minced meat with a spoon and roll a ball from it between the palms. They should be about the same size so that it does not happen that some of them will already be ready, and too large ones will remain raw.
If you moisten your hands with water or oil before sculpting, the stuffing won't stick to your hands.
Then each ball must be rolled in flour and put on cutting board. Roll lightly, without fanaticism.
So my delicious landing is almost ready for further preparation. The meat balls will need to be fried with a bit of oil so that they "grab" and retain their rounded shape. If this is not done, you will end up with hedgehogs. 😊
We put our meatballs in the pan. Fry over low heat, turning over to another barrel.
We do not have a goal to fry them until cooked. Just a little brown. Turn it off and leave it like that.
It's time to prepare the tomato sauce. I don't really like to get a lot of dishes dirty while cooking, but the recipe calls for making the sauce in a separate container.
To do this, put the chopped onion and grated carrots on a fine grater in a pan, fry until soft and light. golden color.
When this happens, add the tomato paste. Since tomato paste itself is neutral and has just a tomato flavor, we immediately add sugar and salt to it.
You can pepper to taste. And here we add paprika. It will give the sauce an even richer red color, so don't be stingy. You can put a tablespoon with a slide.
Pour about 2-3 cups of boiling water into the frying pan. Once you've zeroed in on the recipe, you'll know exactly how much water to add to your dishes.
Next, be sure to try it (!) And add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add aromatic spices. For example, I like to add some suneli hops or dried basil and garlic. You can add fresh crushed garlic, but the smell of it is not for everyone.
And pour gravy on our fried meat balls.
The gravy should completely or almost completely cover them. At first it may seem like a lot, but I assure you that after 30 minutes of stewing, even with closed lid, it will be at least doubled.
So, cover the meatballs filled with gravy with a lid, set the smallest fire and simmer until tender. This process takes about 25-30 minutes, the minced meat is cooked very quickly and the rice that we put inside just has time to cook.
If the rice was previously boiled until half cooked, then the cooking time can be reduced to 20 minutes. This should be enough.
After half an hour, the meatballs are ready. The sauce thickened up and didn't make much of it. More could have been done.
For a side dish, you can take crushed or whole-boiled potatoes, as well as buckwheat, pasta, pea mash. How fragrant and beautiful they are!
I will break one ball to show you. The rice is completely cooked inside. Meatballs keep their shape, they are plump and delicious! Both adults and children will be delighted.
Take note of the recipe, it is very light and easy to prepare. And you can quickly feed the whole family! 😉
Who has never tried meatballs in sour cream sauce he lost a lot! It's fantastically delicious, and if you're positive about sour cream, then this dish is for you. They are so tender, they just melt in your mouth. 👍
Ingredients:
In the previous recipe, I did not boil the rice until half cooked. But this time I decided to boil it to get a very tender and juicy dish.
We boil the rice as follows - we wash it through a sieve with running water and then place it in a saucepan.
Pour water, preferably boiling water, so that it is completely covered. Salt a little and put on a small fire. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, rice tends not only to “run away” from the dishes, but also stick to it from below and to the walls. Therefore, stir actively, do not let him misbehave.
After boiling, cook for 7-10 minutes.
Once the rice has absorbed all the water, turn it off. Let stand for 10-15 minutes, let it cool down to at least a very warm state.
We mix minced meat (I have pork + chicken), half-boiled rice in one bowl, break one egg, salt, pepper and I add a spoonful of suneli hops. It will be very fragrant!
Mix everything together until smooth. Next, we collect minced meat with a spoon and, rolling between the palms, we form balls.
They must be small. Approximately 4-4.5 cm in diameter. And I immediately put them in a frying pan with high boots, with a little oil. And start frying on moderate heat. It is necessary that they "grab", so I additionally close them with a lid.
Fry until a little golden and turn over to another barrel. I do it with these silicone kitchen tongs, very handy.
It is not necessary to fry until cooked, just brown.
Put the finished balls in a separate bowl. Or you can take a separate pan for gravy, as I did in the first recipe.
I rub the carrot finely, chop the onion.
I send them to the pan, add a little oil again. By the way, instead of vegetable, you can add creamy, it will be even tastier.
Fry until light golden, not allowing the vegetables to fry too much. You need to stir. And spread the sour cream.
I have seen recipes where only 3 tablespoons of sour cream are added. In my opinion, this is not enough, it turns out water-vodka, not sauce. Add more, there will not be much, but the sauce will turn out rich and incredibly tasty.
Mix sour cream with vegetables.
And add cold water, I added 2 cups, but I have a large pan. Add enough water to cover the meatballs almost completely. The sauce must be salted, peppered as desired and tasted to adjust the taste.
Awesome sauce, in it the meatballs will turn out great and very juicy!
We put them in the sauce and put them on the stove, under the closed lid. After boiling, simmer on the slowest fire for 20 minutes.
During this time, the gravy will thicken a little, soak our minced meat balls.
It remains only to submit. I have pasta as a side dish, which I pour over with sour cream sauce, and spread the meatballs on top. A little fresh cucumber and a great dinner is ready!
Look how juicy, soft, fragrant! Eat while hot, it will be an unearthly pleasure.
Be sure to take it in your piggy bank, this is a classic recipe that has been proven by more than one generation. Guaranteed taste and tenderness!
An interesting recipe for cooking meat balls in the oven immediately with a side dish of potato slices. Delicious and practical! I recommend.
Ingredients:
Take minced meat, season it with salt, pepper and nutmeg. And also I always have frozen, already chopped champignons in the refrigerator, just on hastily. I don't even defrost them, they will melt during cooking.
I make meatballs from this mixture. This recipe is rice-free, which makes it much easier to prepare.
I cut the potatoes into slices, add a little olive oil to it (you can take sunflower oil), salt and add a little seasoning for potatoes. Mix and spread it in a foil-lined baking dish with high sides.
Meatballs with mushrooms go on top. In this form, we send them to the oven at 200 degrees, to the lowest level for 40-50 minutes. We put them in them so that the rounds do not brown before the potatoes are baked.
And when they are browned, we take out and sprinkle with grated cheese on a fine grater. By the way, if you add a mayonnaise net under the cheese, then it will turn out to be unrealistically delicious! But this time I didn’t do it, it’s a pity for the figure. It's not easy to be a food blogger, you're constantly rushing in breadth because you have to eat all your high-calorie "masterpieces". 😄
By this time, the potatoes should already be ready, its readiness is checked as follows: try to break the slice with a fork, if it turns out without difficulty, then the potatoes are ready.
We send the dish to the oven for another 10 minutes, so that the cheese melts and browns.
Ready-made mushroom balls with cheese, with potatoes, spread on a plate with lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
They have a beautiful ruddy crust and a tender crumb with pieces of mushrooms. Yummy!
Try to cook a dish both in a feast and in the world, as they say! Bon appetit.
Soft and tender meatballs cream sauce it's always a win-win. Suitable for any side dish. I have today with buckwheat.
Ingredients:
How I make the meatballs themselves can be seen in recipes number 1 and 2. I will not repeat myself.
Here, after the last preparation, I had extra ones that did not fit into the pan, and I froze them until the next time. It is very convenient to stick, freeze, and then use in haste.
Frozen also keep their shape well.
I fry chopped onions with grated carrots in a pan until light gold. I put the meat balls in there.
I need them to melt a little and grab. It will take about two minutes, I will not fry until black.
So, I roll them from side to side until a slight blush. frying on butter to taste creamy.
Now I'm making the sauce. I pour all 500 ml of cream into a pan. The sauce needs to be salted, pepper, add your favorite seasonings to it. I take some suneli hops.
Be sure to try the gravy. It should have a creamy, pleasant taste and not be bland. I will not dilute the gravy with water, I like it. when she's full.
You can take cream of lower fat content, it will also turn out well, although not so thick.
On low heat, stirring regularly, bring our gravy to a boil. It is necessary to stir, the cream loves to stick to the walls and to the bottom of the dishes and will try to fry to it.
At the same time, we fall asleep finely grated cheese, it will harmoniously complement the taste of the sauce. Cover with a lid and cook on the lowest heat for 20-25 minutes.
Continue stirring occasionally while cooking. The finished gravy will slightly decrease in volume and thicken - that's what you need.
Serve the meatballs hot, with plenty of tender creamy gravy.

See what other recipe I have. I usually always cook it without rice and in haste. Yummy!
Ingredients:
So, we take minced meat, any homemade. I have pork + chicken + onions. Everything is twisted together. Minced meat is unsalted.
Before cooking meatballs, I salt it, pepper it, I can add nutmeg or seasoning for meat to taste, directly into the minced meat. Mix well. I don't add rice.
I roll the koloboks and finely chop the onion and start frying. Meatballs come first, I roll them and fry them in a little oil until lightly browned.
And immediately I spread a beam to them. I fry them together for another minute and a half, the onion also becomes golden.
Stir, bring to a boil and taste. Having tried it, I'm already looking at how to adjust the taste - maybe you need to add a little salt or, on the contrary, add sugar. Don't be afraid to use it for flavor correction.
And be sure to have all sorts of aromatic herbs - basil (I grind dry between my fingers), a bit of ground coriander, a couple of peas of allspice, ground black pepper and dried garlic. This is my standard set for this recipe. You can add or remove something at your discretion, only basil should be here. And, of course, Lavrushka.
I stir and try again. If all is well, then my meatballs boil quietly for 20 minutes under a closed lid over low heat. The aroma of them spreads throughout the apartment!

Pour the sauce into the pan, cover and simmer over medium heat for about 30 minutes (depending on the size of your meatballs).
If you have already thawed the minced meat, and it does not have a very fresh smell, and this happens even when defrosting in the refrigerator, you can put black allspice in it. So the smell and color of the product will become rich and pleasant. Salt and add dried dill, which also beats off an unpleasant smell, and the taste of the cutlets will turn out to be even tastier and richer. Especially in meatballs, if you cook soup, dill in minced meat will be simply irreplaceable.
Stuffing should be well mixed and, so, say, beat. Just like dough, minced meat loves hands, so if you don't like to touch the product with your hands, it's better to take gloves and endure this moment. To make the meatballs juicy and fluffy, the minced meat needs to be kneaded and kneaded like dough for donuts. Mix the product with spices, and then add everything that is needed according to the recipe.
Well removes the smell of minced meat and garlic (ground or crushed). Many housewives also recommend coriander, but only a small pinch, preferably half a teaspoon per kilogram of minced meat.
Both for cutlets and meatballs, onions are added to the minced meat. Each hostess decides in her own way, either rubs on a grater or blender, or simply cuts very finely. It is better to grind the onion into meatballs, but cutlets can be made with finely chopped onions. It is also customary to put fresh greens in meatballs, this gives them piquancy, since just minced meat with rice is just a combination. Cutlets are made either with dried herbs, or without it at all.
So that the meatballs do not fall apart in a skillet or slow cooker, add an egg, but no more than 2 pieces so that they do not turn out hard. Chefs recommend adding only protein, but that's up to you. Minced meat with an egg keeps stronger. Well, if there are no eggs at hand, rub raw potatoes into minced meat, but only one. The starch that contains the tuber also "holds" the stuffing together.
