This looks really yummy. Definitely going to be trying it out. I’ve started making a chicken meatball with shredded carrot and apple. They are great and I get a little added vegetable for my one year old and a husband who doesn’t like veggies. I may try it with the chicken meatballs.

Probably a silly question but…did you just have to take the potato peel off with each bite?

Loved this dish! My husband is an extremely picky eater and he ate 2 helpings of this. This also made my house smell like I’ve been cooking all day. Love your recipes, they are delicious.

Dear Genius Roni, my culinary hero:
Slam dunk!! This was sooo good & made the whole house smell great! I did the veggies for half an hour, then added the meat for fifteen & it was perfect. My meatballs were probably smaller than yours because I came out with 18, but they were all eaten up!! The only complaint was from one of my toddlers, who threw her Brussels sprouts on the floor. Other than that, I will be making this weekly!! So simple!!! Thank you!!!

That’s a good idea. I took the lazy way out with the spices. The oatmeal actually helps keep them moist when cooking them in liquid but roasting them, not so much. I do think just not overcooking them would work wonders!

Thanks for the tip!

Roni,
Maybe if you sauteed some diced onion and then added it to the meatball mixture it would keep some of the moisture. I read that tip in Cooking Light for turkey burgers and it worked out really, really well for us. Maybe decreasing the oatmeal? Good looking meal though! Can I ask if you dipped your meatballs in Ketchup since I know you love it:)

Woo this sounds great! Its too bad Jon hates “those green balls” Lol I’m sure I could sub Zuchini and asparagus though. Btw I made the sweet potato black bean chili, It was amazing, I Just wanted all the sweet potatoes lol.

I had a thought, I know you’re not the biggest baking fan but have you looked into French Macaroons? They are made with almond flour and endless flavor possibilities for the cookie pieces and fillings. I was thinking of trying them for Halloween and making a pumpkin spice cookie with candied sweet potato filling and drawing pumpkin faces on them. I’ve heard after the first 1-3 times you get pretty good at it and can easily make them.

Oh I absolutely LOVE this idea! I’m one of those really picky people that doesn’t like one-dish meals or sauces, but this looks really delicious.

Sorry about your dishwasher. =(
