Meatballs & Gravy
"This is such a delicious and comforting meal. It is really very easy and I recommend making the meatballs rather than using frozen ones. I like to serve buttered noodles as a side or over mashed potatoes! Recipe is from Family Circle."

What a delicious meal! My husband and I really enjoyed this very much. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was the definition of comfort food. The "gravy" didn't really thicken up that much for me, but it just mixed in with the potatoes and didn't matter. I'm excited for the leftovers tomorrow for lunch! Thanks so much for posting this keeper! -
Delicious comfort food and quick to make for a weekday dinner. DH and I both enjoyed it very much. Thanks for posting. -
A comforting, tasty meal for fall weather. It is very easy to make. -
Delicious Lainey. The smell was so good. With mashed potatoes I'm sure it's delish. I made my breadcrumbs with my homemade sesame bread. I used only garlic powder (no salt). I used low-sodium beef broth and no nutmeg. Thank you Lainey :) Made for Holiday Tag.
