Creole Meatballs

"My husband wanted a spicy meatball and teases me for my zaar addiction and so he searches through my shelves of cookbooks. This dish is from 365 ways to cook hamburger by Doyne Nickerson and is absolutely delish, so I just add to share."

  1. I made this last night and served with brown rice. These are absolutely GREAT!!!! The only thing I didn't do, was roll the meatballs in flour. Everything else was exactly as directed. Definately a keeper!!!!
     
  2. I just have to say I have the same cookbook. I have had it since 1960. I have been making Meat Balls Creole since then and they are absolutely fabulous!!!!. We have ours on poor boy type buns. I sometimes have with potatoes and a vegetable. They freeze up very well as this makes a lot for just the 2 of us now. I would give more than 5*s if I could.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Update Nov 2009 - I live in Northwestern Ontario with the cold and the bugs. A baby born in each of my decade 20's 30's 40's!!! plus 2 grandsons now. I love to cook and hardly ever repeat a recipe. I never really had a fav cookbook but I now have a favorite recipe site that I am totally addicted to-RECIPEZAAR!!! I still email recipes to my own kids. My pet peeve is those folks who turn their noses up at a dish even before they try it. My family have sat at the table with a pig tail or a chicken foot on their plate just becuz I found a recipe - HAHAHa - cooking should be fun and very once in a while the dogs get a treat! I also love watching decorating shows and my husband keeps promising to put wheels on the furniture to make room arrangments easier! We don't hobby farm anymore on our 8 acres and the large veg garden has been made over - half rock garden and other half with 12 new raised cedar beds because I am getting old and the knees don't work so well. It is fabulous and will post a new cover pic altho I love my Inukshuks!! I LOVE snowshoeing and am blessed to be able to walk out my back door and enjoy.
