I don’t think you can ever have too many meatball recipes. They’re inexpensive, easy to make, and somehow everyone gets excited when they’re on the dinner menu.
Whether I’m making a cozy pan of Swedish Meatballs and Noodles, tossing Meatball Parmesan in the oven, or keeping Grape Jelly Meatballs warm in the slow cooker for a party, I know my people will be excited about it.
If you’re looking for better-than-takeout dinner ideas, easy appetizers, or comforting family meals, this collection has you covered.
Grape Jelly Meatballs in the Crock Pot
I love how these Crockpot Grape Jelly Meatballs come together with just three ingredients and practically no prep. The sweet grape jelly and tangy chili sauce cook down into a glossy sauce that’s perfect for keeping warm in the slow cooker during parties or on game day.
Swedish Meatballs And Noodles
I keep these Swedish Meatballs And Noodles in my family’s dinner rotation because everyone loves eating them, and I love cooking them. Everything cooks together in one skillet, and the creamy homemade sauce coats every bite of the tender meatballs and egg noodles.
Crockpot Swedish Meatballs
Whenever I want serious comfort food without standing over the stove, I make Crockpot Swedish Meatballs. It starts with frozen meatballs that simmer in the slow cooker in a rich, creamy sauce until they’re perfectly tender.
Meatball Parmesan
When I’m craving classic comfort food that tastes like it came from my grandmother’s kitchen, I make my family’s Meatball Parmesan recipe. Juicy meatballs are baked with plenty of marinara and gooey melted mozzarella until they’re hot, bubbly, and ready to serve over pasta.
Salisbury Steak Meatballs
These Salisbury Steak Meatballs deliver all the cozy flavors of homemade Salisbury steak, but they’re extra easy to make. The rich mushroom and onion gravy comes together in one skillet, making it an easy dinner to spoon over creamy mashed potatoes.
Garlic Bread Meatball Bombs
I make these Garlic Bread Meatball Bombs when we want to eat something a little more fun than a traditional meatball dinner. Each buttery garlic bread roll is stuffed with a cheesy meatball. These are perfect for a family dinner, but they’ll impress your company, too.
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
If you’re craving buffalo wings but don’t want the mess, make these Buffalo Chicken Meatballs instead. Ground chicken keeps them tender, while buffalo sauce and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing give every bite that classic spicy flavor.
Homemade Meatballs (Never-Fail, Oven-Baked)
We cook up a batch of Homemade, Oven-Baked Meatballs ahead of time and portion them out for easy dinners. They freeze beautifully and work in so many meals. They’re juicy, well-seasoned, and just as good tucked into subs or tossed with pasta as they are on their own.
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
I make this Sweet and Sour Meatballs recipe when I’m in the mood for takeout, but I don’t want to spend the money. The homemade sweet and sour sauce is packed with pineapple and colorful peppers, just like my favorite Chinese restaurant.
Smothered Meatballs
I make these Smothered Meatballs basically just to eat the mashed potatoes and gravy that go with them. The rich onion gravy and tender meatballs turn a simple dinner into pure comfort food.
Cheese Stuffed Meatballs
These Cheese Stuffed Meatballs will surprise everyone at the dinner table. Every meatball hides a gooey mozzarella center that melts perfectly as they bake in a traditional marinara sauce.
Meatballs And Gravy
When I need a warm, filling dinner that doesn’t take much effort, I make Meatballs and Gravy. You can’t go wrong with this classic. The rich brown gravy comes together quickly and is perfect spooned over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles.
Better Than Takeout Teriyaki Meatballs
Craving takeout but don’t want to leave the house? Make these Better Than Takeout Teriyaki Meatballs instead. The homemade teriyaki sauce is sweet, savory, and thick enough to coat every meatball, and it’s especially delicious when it’s served over a bowl of fluffy rice.
Meatball Subs
I make these Meatball Subs when I want an easy dinner that’s always a hit with kids. Toasted hoagie rolls are piled high with meatballs, marinara, and plenty of melted mozzarella for a sandwich that’s hearty enough to satisfy even the biggest appetites.
Meatball Casserole
This Meatball Casserole is perfect for nights when you need a dinner in the oven quickly, and you don’t have time to stand over the stove. Pasta, meatballs, marinara, and plenty of melted cheese bake together into a hearty meal that can definitely feed a hungry family.
Asian Turkey Meatballs
If you need a comfort food meal that’s just a little lighter, these Asian Turkey Meatballs are your answer. Ground turkey, fresh ginger, garlic, and a sweet-savory glaze give them plenty of classic flavor, whether you serve them over rice or tuck them into lettuce wraps, like I do.
Meatballs and Potatoes
This Meatballs and Potatoes recipe cooks in one pan. The potatoes roast until they’re tender while the meatballs soak up all the buttery garlic and herb flavors. Cleanup is almost as easy as eating it.
Alfredo Sauce with Meatballs
Prefer white sauce over red? Make Alfredo Sauce with Meatballs. The creamy homemade Alfredo coats every bite of pasta and meatballs, turning a simple dinner into something that tastes rich and feels a little extra special.
