Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix ground hamburger, herb stuffing, evaporated milk, and curry powder in a large bowl.
- Roll the mixture into small meatballs.
- Fry or brown the meatballs in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil until evenly browned.
- Transfer browned meatballs into a crockpot.
- Add two cans of cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of water to the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the meatballs are cooked through and flavors meld.
Tips & Substitutions
For added depth of flavor, consider incorporating sautéed onions and garlic into the meatball mixture. If you're out of evaporated milk, regular milk or cream can work as a substitute, just adjust the liquid content in the crockpot. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a fresh touch. For a spicy twist, a dash of cayenne pepper can complement the curry.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these creamy meatballs over a bed of rice or egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. They pair well with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. For a comforting touch, consider serving them alongside crusty bread or with a side of mashed potatoes for a hearty feast that echoes classic American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep them moist. Cover the skillet to steam and warm through, or you can reheat them in the microwave for about two minutes, stirring halfway.
