If you haven't noticed based on the recipes I've been posting - my tot loves him some ground beef. In fact he loves meatloaf specifically and since I can't eat that on the daily I've been experimenting with different variations of meatballs and meatloaves so that I don't get sick of eating it.
One day as we were walking down the soup aisle I was re-introduced to the amazing
Knorr Onion Soup mix. I forgot how amazing this stuff is (now good for you might be another question), but in terms of comparison - this stuff is pretty much like the Swiss Army Knives of food. You can use it for soup, dip, roasted meats, meatloaf and burgers. Seriously there isn't much that this seasoning can't do. Since a form of ground beef was going to be for dinner I decided to grab the seasoning and use it as a base for my meatballs.
Here's what you'll need:
- 2 lbs of ground beef
- 1 package of Knorr Onion Soup mix
- 1 cup of bread crumbs (I personally LOVE the Schar brand for a gluten-free option)
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 1 cup of shredded carrots
- 4 cloves of minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons of Worcester sauce
- 1/4 cup of ketchup
- 1 egg (optional - I opted to do it without but it helps to bind the meat together a bit more)
- 1 package of noodles (I would recommend egg noodles)
- 1 package or jar of any brown gravy
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp of olive oil
