Been meaning to try this one for a long time! Too bad I waited, it was absolutely delicious. Will make again sooner and will probably add a little celery with the potatoes and carrots. Highly recommended recipe! -
This is good stuff! Not at all like boring old stew. Very flavorful, the meatballs are just delicious. My kids don't like stews, and they enjoyed this. Of course I did tell them the meatballs were made from Doritos (they're not, of course, but I do what I can to get them to try new things :)). Used a 5-quart oven proof saute pan to cook the meatballs in olive oil rather than shortening and then bake which worked very well. The meatballs are pretty wet, mine were a little flatter than balls, but they hold together nicely and come out moist. Carrots and potatoes have enough sauce to be well-flavored. Yum! So glad you shared the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2007.
