The Grand Finale

I use a classic meatball recipe to make 2 batches of meatballs-24 meatballs in a batch. One to freeze for another quick, easy to go to meal and the other one to use for soups, appetizers, this recipe and many more go to meals. They freeze well, can be made ahead of time and one multiple prep session can yield many great dishes. This recipe makes 48 small to medium meatballs (I am usually tired of rolling in the end so the meatballs tend to get bigger).  😉 Double up the recipe ingredients for crockpot meatballs or the like and now you have a party!  😀

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin Along!
Rollin, Rollin, Rollin Along!

Barbecue Meatballs Over Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
Classic Meatballs
Barbecue Sauce
Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
Instructions
Classic Meatballs
  1. In a bowl combine all of the classic meatball ingredients. Let set for about 5 minutes for the flavors to merry before you start rolling. Use a small ice-cream scoop or a one tablespoon round measuring spoon to scoop out the meatball mixture and roll into balls. Place on a foil lined cookie sheet for baking.
  2. Bake the meatballs in a 450 degree oven for about 18 minutes or until done all the way through.
Barbecue Sauce
  1. In a saucepan on low to medium heat combine the barbecue sauce ingredients. Heat to a simmer, not a boil. Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and combine. Let them marry for about 5-10 minutes. The flavors are unbelievable!
Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
  1. Cut the potatoes into chunks and boil in salted water for 30-40 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and place them back in the pot to reduce the liquid even further or into a bowl for mixing. I use a hand mixer because I like smooth creamy mashed potatoes but that is entirely up to you.
  3. Add the other ingredients to your potatoes and whip or mash them together until combined to your liking.
The Grand Finale
  1. Dollop the mashed potatoes onto a beautiful serving plate or platter for family style meals. Place the meatballs on top and add additional sauce for a fantastic flavor. Serve and Enjoy!
]]> 2063 Baked Bacon Gnocchi https://kimberlyboutin.com/recipe/baked-bacon-gnocchi/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=baked-bacon-gnocchi https://kimberlyboutin.com/recipe/baked-bacon-gnocchi/#respond Fri, 12 Aug 2016 13:40:11 +0000 https://kimberlyboutin.com/?post_type=recipe&p=1754 When I first saw this recipe for Cheeseburger Gnocchi, I thought this is a must try! But as I am prone to do when other inspiration hits, I changed up the recipe a little bit with amazing (IMHO) results. This recipe was so easy and when I tell you DELISH, the proof is in the eating—I left my son with it and half a good sized pan was gone in under 15 minutes after it came out of the oven!  😛

Right out of the oven!
Half of this pan!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  1. In an oven proof good sized fry pan, on medium heat, add the center cut bacon and fry to your desired crispness. Remove the bacon to a paper toweled plate to drain. Keep the bacon drippings in the pan.
  2. Add the olive oil to the bacon drippings. Sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes and add the gnocchi. Stir to combine. Sauté all together for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the marinara sauce, mustard powder, paprika, 1/2 the parsley flakes and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and add half the mozzarella cheese to the gnocchi and combine.
  5. Spread the rest of the mozzarella on top with the rest of the parsley. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top OR mix half in with the gnocchi and sprinkle the remaining on top. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy!  😀
    One serving, Ha Ha Ha!
    One serving, Ha Ha Ha!

**Be VERY careful when removing the pan from the oven, the handle will be HOT.

As a visual reminder I always put an oven mitt over the handle in addition to using a pot holder.**
