Recipe Substitutions and Variations

This meatball recipe is easy to make your own by adding ingredients your family prefers.

• For an extra creamy sauce mix in sour cream before serving.
• Add in additional seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley and black pepper for more flavor.
• You can use your favorite homemade meatball recipe instead of frozen.
• If you don't like cream of mushroom soup you can use cream of celery or cream of chicken soup instead.
• I do not recommend using Italian meatballs in this recipe. It's best made with homestyle or traditional meatballs.

How To Serve Meatballs and Gravy

These tender meatballs are delicious served over these Slow Cooker Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes, egg noodles or in a bowl over brown rice.

These are great served with Southern Green Beans and Homemade Dinner Rolls (to soak up the extra gravy) or with steamed vegetables like broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. Choose your favorite quick and easy sides.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These meatballs should stay fresh in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

Leftovers make delicious meatball subs for lunch the next day! I love having leftovers to eat for lunch or dinner the next day. Cook once and eat twice!

How To Reheat Leftovers

We like to warm up leftovers in a saucepan on the stovetop but you can also reheat in the microwave.
