Goulash Meatballs

Goulash Meatballs

These goulash meatballs are spicy and a great dish to prepare on a cold winter’s night!

Every person need to have a good meatball recipe. I have been making this recipe for years and I have posted it before. Every time I try a new recipe, my family complains and I always revert back to this old and trusted recipe. The only time that I will be excused to use another recipe is when I make curry banana meatballs.

 

I use the same recipe when I make beef burgers. The burgers / meatballs freeze extremely well. Having these meatballs in the freezer, saved me quite a couple of times in the past, when unexpected guests show up for dinner. It can be taken out of the freezer and warmed up in a couple of minutes. Serve with some buttery mash and a salad.

 

The meatballs are also great dressed with a sauce and served with pasta. A simple well cooked tomato sauce with loads of basil is perfect. If you do not have the time to cook a sauce, simply add a shop-bought one.

 

The meatballs are also delicious when served cold, but definitely not in winter! In winter it needs a spicy hot sauce, like this goulash sauce. Serve this with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes and a dallop of sour cream if you wish.

 

Enjoy the weekend and remember to have fun in the kitchen!
