Meatball Stew


This is the way I make meatball stew._


I am rethinking my blog. I intend on giving my grandmother full credit for it. I've gotten to a point where I don't have as much time to shop for ingredients (I'm always tired) and most of the recipes left in the box are things that I do not like (lots of oyster recipes). This is the new direction I'm taking my blog: the way I cook things, the way I learn to cook things, and also my grandmother's recipes. I'm not much of a cook, which means that when I do cook, I use a lot of short cuts. I cook a lot of common things, just in a different way than other people. I still get a yummy result at the end. I would love to share my personal recipes. So here goes the first post of my new-ish blog.

A twitter friend of mine posted that she was making meatball stew for supper. It made me hungry for it.

I use ground turkey. I prefer it to ground beef for some reason, and it also creates less grease. Another good thing about ground turkey is that it is cheaper than ground beef. The first thing I do is brown the meat. I don't even form it into meatballs. My reason? I don't like chunky food. I always cut up my meatballs anyway. I figured that cooking this way just cuts out an extra step for me later. If you like meatballs, you can still make meatballs and use the same recipe.
